Corzine Gets One Right
New Jersey state workers negotiate for 13 holidays off during the fiscal year. Interestingly, that is three more than federal government workers have.
Anyhow, NJ state workers, while contracting 13 paid holidays actually have 14 paid holidays. Each governor signs an executive order to give state workers off on Black Friday. Governor Corzine has signed the order for this year.
But it came with the promise that it will never happen again.
“I firmly believe that, as a matter of sound practice, days off should not be granted in this manner but should be either negotiated or statutorily authorized,” Corzine wrote in the order.
Bravo, Governor! I agree completely with this opinion.
When it comes to negotiation time with your former girlfriend, make certain that if the union wants this day off, something of significance is given from their side. I suspect workers will quickly give up the outrage over the “loss”.
“I firmly believe that, as a matter of sound practice, days off should not be granted in this manner but should be either negotiated or statutorily authorized,” Corzine wrote in the order.
