MORRISTOWN, N.J. (AP) - April 16, 2009
The union lawyers will ask an appellate panel in Morristown to
stay an emergency rule giving Gov. Jon S. Corzine the authority to
furlough state workers for a day in May and another in June.
Corzine wants the unpaid days off to help balance the budget.
A stay would set aside furloughs until the courts can decide.
The unions say the Civil Service Commission arbitrarily declared
the state in economic peril to give Corzine, county and municipal
leaders the authority to temporarily lay off workers.
The unions say the furloughs violate their contracts. Corzine
says furloughs and needed because of the recession.
