Democrats and Union allies balk at “banding “proposal for state workers
BATTLE LINES DRAWN IN FIGHT OVER STATE CIVIL SERVICE JOB PROTECTIONS
Christie, GOP push for ‘banding’ of positions decried by Democrats as threat to job security

With the commission scheduled to hold a hearing next month on its plan to group jobs together in “bands,” the Assembly voted 48-31 along party lines on a resolution prohibiting or invalidating such a change. (Tyrrell/NJSpotlight)
