Bill > A4618

This bill amends existing law to provide additional protections for employees working at official motor vehicle inspection facilities in New Jersey. Specifically, the bill requires that during contract renewals or new contract awards for operating inspection facilities, existing employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement must be the first to be offered employment to meet the new contract's staffing needs. The bill mandates that offers of employment must include compensation and benefits packages that match the existing collective bargaining agreement. Furthermore, in cases of business sales, asset transfers, or mergers, the existing collective bargaining agreement will remain binding on all successors, assigns, and affiliated businesses. The legislation aims to ensure job security and consistent employment terms for workers at these inspection facilities, protecting their wages and benefits when contracts are renewed or new contractors take over facility operations. The bill builds upon previous laws governing the operation of motor vehicle inspection facilities in New Jersey and provides additional worker protections in the context of contractual changes.
