Update on Unionizing the Chiefs
On May 6, 2008, the New Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC) rescheduled the Association’s May 12, 2008 hearing for formal proceedings on July 31 and August 5 and 6, 2008. However, in correspondence dated July 1, 2008, PERC hearing officer Deirdre K. Hartman rescheduled the proceedings for September 30 and October 1, 2008. In earlier correspondence, she writes:
“The State shall proceed first and I request the parties submit witness lists one week prior to the hearing. Any prehearing motions similarly shall be filed one week prior to the hearing.”
Now, in correspondence dated July 31, 2008, she sets the proceedings for September 30, October 3 and, if necessary, October 8, 2008.
The membership will be kept abreast of the latest developments. Any Chief willing to testify before PERC in the Association’s behalf should contact Associate Vice President Craig Stellman at (215) 200-0044 or at crgstell@comcast.net.
Retired Membership
Posted Monday, December 3, 2007
When you retire, your membership in the Association is not automatically renewed. Despite the benefits, and for whatever reason, some members wish not to continue membership upon retirement. It is clearly an individual choice.
If you would like to apply for retired membership, you must complete a new membership application and submit it to the Association, along with payment of dues assessed on a pro rata basis (NOTE: Dues owed at the time of your application for retired membership are predicated upon the effective date of your retirement as follows):
January 1 — $130; February 1 — $119.17; March 1 — $108.34; April 1 — $97.51; May 1 — $86.68; June 1 — $75.85; July 1 — $65.00; August 1 — $54.19; September 1 — $43.36; October 1 — $32.53; November 1 — $21.70; December 1 — $10.87
Thereafter, retired members, in order to remain in good standing, must pay annual dues, currently assessed at $130, to the Association no later than the deadline of December 1.
Membership applications are available for download from this website.
