well what would it work which is what
governor christy
he's is
basically
i think it's fair to say
given what new jersey is and let's say the fact that it is not one of the
most union strong states in the country for instance
he's he's basically doing the equivalent of wallet scott walker
and john casick opponent wisconsin ohio
starting from a much more liberal place
but he's he's his dummy quote of of of reforms that are that drastic in terms
of union-busting
in new jersey
uh... four where new jersey is at so not it not as is offering them down to us
for a level but he can't because new jersey more liberal
but you can make a pretty good argument i he he cut the public workers pensions
he's introduced sort of the classic
uh... stick test based
ability to over forms in the schools
he's raise the retirement and she's cut the cost living just uh... blowers
pensions
keys uh... or austerity all around i mean all fleming's been cut
collegiate re-elected
going to go to public works department out there
well that they're your life it's not even know that and
and yet
and yet the labor's internationally in the north america on line up
has endorsed him in his bid against
state senator boggled blown out was a progressive democrat from new brunswick
where area of new jersey
what do you make of and and the democratic governors association
celeste
has essentially stayed out of this and it seems like maybe *** down here
or progressive throwing in the towel misguided having what's going on here
determining flying
sort of the building inflection triplet baby that is they want to get a few deal
democratic deals
lightweight
on a project labor agreement and christy increase to get them up you know a
couple road construction jobs
uh... not to mention that equipment the biggest infrastructure project
contradict camelbak
but basically they're cutting deals of people who work the desperate situations
the people looking for ways to cut the other all it happens
intercity clear mike you're referencing of course it long-planned additional
trains on all fronts
new jersey to penn station in new york that chris christie vetoed back in
october of twenty ten it was a point seven billion dollar project that people
believe would have helps to ease a lot of the commuter traffic in the
infrastructure problems between new jersey new york and has a
minimum northern new jersey over the george washington bridge like it says
that those challenges
or in fact
formidable
but he said that they share the new jersey would be or forced a bit of two
point seven billion dollars of that
eight point seven billion split between the federal government the government of
new york in the government of new jersey
would be too much in the political b one billion dollar cost overruns
i mean these are the kinds of
centuries significant
construction infrastructure products
that that have been really made new york in new jersey of for commerce
internationally and i think it's a shame that
the folks in the building construction trades or standing in solidarity with
with the teachers mailto other public sector workers because frankly they got
screwed they're fighting for the scraps and its only gonna get wars of christie
thinks he can divide and conquer the labor movement is a rosy
