TRENTON – Government employers appear, at least for the time being, to have fought off legislation sought by public worker unions that would make more topics eligible for collective bargaining.
The bill was endorsed by Senate and Assembly committees and got listed for floor votes last Thursday, only to not get called. The Assembly intends to not return to action until November, which is common once the budget is finalized in legislative election years, so the bill might be dormant for five months.
