N.J. Senator Donald Norcross says he was not pressured to resign from labor union
The head of one of the biggest labor unions in New Jersey will be leaving on Labor Day, but he says he’s not being pressured. State Sen. Donald Norcross plans to retire as head of the Southern New Jersey Central Labor Council on Labor Day weekend.
Norcross, 52, from Camden, told The Philadelphia Inquirer that his decision had nothing to do with the union members’ unhappiness with his support of the pension and health care reform bills. His well-known brother George has long supported public-sector reform of health care and pension benefits. (Holt, New Jersey Newsroom)
