Ridgewood NJ, more than two dozen officials have signed a letter in support of union organizing activities at Starbucks stores in New Jersey, where workers in Hopewell, Summit and Hamilton recently went public with their support of the Starbucks Workers United organizing efforts. Voting on joining the union will begin shortly at those stores.
what are Sweeney, Sarlo and Prieto trying to do to our gasoline taxes? What’s going to happen to our property taxes? State income tax increases on the top 1%, i.e. anyone who earns over $350,000? Higher sales taxes anyone? How about all of the above. And for what you ask? To feed the vampire squid sucking the lifeblood out of the state of NJ. All of the tax revenues raised will go to pay for past promises on wages & benefits for unionized labor, not to invest in the future of the state. These thugs in Trenton won’t ask any questions, they’ll just throw more hard earned money down the black hole of pension and healthcare corruption.
