CWA Local 1075 is calling on Monmouth County workers to gather in Fair Haven on Tuesday evening to protest for a fair contract.
Contract negotiations have been going on for two years, according to the CWA 1075 website, and County workers have had enough.
Here’s the problem: The Freeholders are meeting at the Hall of Records in Freehold.
I was going to write a snarky post making fun of the union for sending their members to the wrong location, but after verifying that the meeting is in Freehold with Freeholder Director Lillian Burry and Freeholder Tom Arnone, they both asked me to get the word out that the Freeholders want to hear from the membership. They have moved the meeting to Judge Cleary’s Court Room in order to accommodate the larger than usual crowd that is expected.
The meeting was moved back to Freehold weeks ago. Where the communication breakdown happened is unknown.
So share this post and spread the word….the Freeholder Meeting is on Tuesday September 23, not on its usual Thursday night because of Rosh Hashanah, and the meeting has been moved to larger quarters, Judge Cleary’s Court Room , 1 East Main St, in Freehold.
