ATTEND THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING SUMMIT

The 2007 NJEA Jim George Collective Bargaining Summit will be held in New Brunswick on Saturday, October 13. Please note that there have been problems with the lock box, and to date, we have no one registered from Camden County. If you have sent in registration forms for you or members in your local, please contact this office immediately.

This year's summit will be our 40th anniversary celebration of the Asbury Park rally and is designed specifically for NJEA members involved in the bargaining process. Local presidents, negotiations teams, and other members involved in the bargaining process will benefit from discussions on NJEA’s success in protecting the health benefits they negotiate, as well as post-retirement medical benefits.
