taxpayer funded theft by unions…. so what’s new in Trenton?
More Helicopter money…printing presses are our depressed wallets…State has to bond that money ..guess who is on that hook?.?
Who’s the guy on the left in what looks like an orange prison jump suit?
This is ridiculous these workers choose to strike let there union pay them.
. STOP sticking it to the taxpayer
I just love this state, keep screwing those high salaried so called professionals and give it to the blue collar workers. It can’t get any better than that!
I love that your Unions give money (your union dues)to the politicians that steal money from your pension plans lol
Ummmm, james, do tell, what union was that it that supported the pension thief Christie ?
actually all of them except the NJEA and to get you up to speed the stealing started with Whitman, add Corzin ,Mac Creepy and afew other sh$theads and you are out about $90billion (guessing) hope you like to sleep in a card board box
This is outrageous. There are supposed to be strict rules about qualifying for Unemployment Pay. The main one is that you lost your job through no fault of you own. This doesn’t even come close to that.
absurd and outrageous and so very wrong. no one has lost a job during a strike, strikers refuse to report to work! Should not be allowed.
Compared to Whitman, Corzine & Mac Greevy Christie has them all beat $$$$$$ wise. And FYI, I am not out a dime, the taxpayers are though.
sorry you buddy Corzine has everyone beat
Outright taxpayer theft, only in NJ, what a scam
Isn’t one of first questions “Have sought work”? NO, they are on the picket or at the shore. This is that Jerry Calonna look alike Prieto pandering to the union rank and file and buying votes.
Corzine didn’t raise the fees paid to manage the pensions from 200 Million to 1 Billion like your buddy Christie did.
Yes but mac creepy gave it to all his relatives
James August 3, 2016 at 3:29 pm …..Yes but mac creepy gave it to all his relatives
True,I will not argue with that however in real $$$$$$ that’s nothing close to the 1 Billion Christie is giving away to failed pension managers who contributed to his elections. can you say corrupt Christie?
The bill emerged during the Verizon workers strike and the vote came as Taj Mahal casino and hotel workers are striking. The Senate vote, though, comes as 1,000 Taj Mahal casino and hotel employees enter their second month striking in a dispute over benefits.
Let striking union workers draw UI? Say what?
