HPAE 5089: Snow Day/State of Emergency @ UMDNJ

We are outraged by UMDNJ's handling of the recent blizzard and management's disrespect for the nurses.

The University blatantly ignored their own Inclement Weather Policy and refused to appropriately compensate those employees who were mandated to stay at work or required to come to work during the blizzard and State of Emergency. They've salary deleted staff and even threatened to terminate employees who were unable to report to work due the conditions during the storm. Past practice has always allowed nurses to utilize benefit time rather than be salary deleted.

We have already demanded management correct this situation and we are preparing a Class Action grievance on behalf of all of our members. We are also filing an Unfair Practice Charge against the University for substantially revising the inclement weather policy without notifying the union and negotiating.

We need your help. Please complete the form below to help us document our grievances.
