We just finished our first bargaining session with Rutgers. We put forward our set of non-economic proposals.
Exciting news! We are officially beginning negotiations with Rutgers on Wednesday, April 1st. This is a critical moment for our union, and your active participation is going to make the difference.
Please complete the survey as soon as possible and encourage your coworkers to do the same. The more voices we have, the stronger we will be at the table!
Nominations for Local 5089 Officer positions were closed on October 31, 2025. In accordance with the HPAE election rules, all unopposed candidates shall be deemed elected.
As we mentioned in last week’s message, Governor Murphy and the NJ state legislature chose to include in the state budget a savings of $200M over two years that would be achieved by increasing your health insurance costs.
Please be advised that nominations are now open for all officer positions of Local 5089. Only members in good standing may nominate or be nominated. This election will take place by secret mail ballot.
At a time when our public institutions are under attack by the federal government, it is more important than ever that the State of New Jersey step up to fill these gaps.
The Coalition of Rutgers Unions (CRU) is holding additional town hall meetings for you to learn about your health insurance options during the open enrollment period in October for the State Health Benefits Program.
