The contract(s) next go to the Freeholder Board for their approval at their public meeting to be held on Wednesday, October 21, 2010 at 7:00 pm in the Hall of Records.
The event was filmed by NJN News for what our Union assumes will be inclusion within their news broadcasts this evening at 6:00 pm and 11:00 pm.

CWA Local 1081 thanks the members of our Union for their support and encouragement throughout this strenuous, and often contentious, nearly three year process. With your continued support our Union will soon negotiate our next contract(s) in order to obtain, and maintain, the best quality of life for you as possible.
