Local 1037 Members March to Demand a Fair Contract
Workers at the Passaic County Board of Social Services (PCBSS) picketed and marched to the Passaic County Commissioners Meeting on August 10 to demand a fair contract.
The PCBSS workers were essential and continued to provide services to the residents of Passaic County during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic - but management refuses to step up and recognize the workers’ dedication and commitment. The PCBSS contract expired 19 months ago, making this the longest period that PCBSS workers have gone without a contract since 1996.
“I know we don’t bargain directly with the county commissioners, but two commissioners sit on the board of social services,” Wanda Sawyer, CWA 1037 Vice President at PCBSS said at the meeting. “On behalf of our over 300 members at the board, we call on you to stand with us and send a message to the Board of Social Services administration that Passaic County is pro-Union, collective bargaining must be respected and the time for a fair contract is now!”
