N.J. pension reform fight hits the state Supreme Court

From NJ Advance Media for NJ.com, May 6, 2015

TRENTON — Nearly a year after Gov. Chris Christie responded to a sudden budget crisis by slashing payments into the state pension system, New Jersey’s public labor unions on Wednesday will fight for their right to that money before state’s highest court.

A victory for the unions could send billions more into a beleaguered pension fund. A loss would erase any guarantee the state will contribute into the retirement system of some 800,000 people, working and retired.

“The funding is crucial to the future sustainability of our state’s pension system,” said Charles Wowkanech, president of the New Jersey State AFL-CIO.
