New Jersey Democrats prioritize the interests of working families and are steadfast in defending workers’ rights. We have consistently supported organizing efforts and uphold the importance of collective bargaining as essential tools for fair wages, safe workplaces, and economic security. We are committed to ensuring that workers have a strong voice on the job.

How New Jersey Democrats Have Delivered: 

• By developing the nation’s top trade workforce by investing in union apprenticeship and job training programs.

• Funded investments in sectors like housing, public transit, and energy that create thousands of good-paying union jobs.

• By making record pension payments, including a $7.2 billion payment, to the New Jersey public pension system.

What New Jersey Democrats Are Fighting For:

• The strength of our unions and workers’ right to organize in the workplace for better working conditions, benefits, and wages. New Jersey is always #UnionStrong.

• Fully funding our pension system to guarantee that working families can retire with security and dignity.

• Strictly enforce wage and hour laws while holding employers accountable for violating Project Labor Agreements and workers’ rights in New Jersey.

• State projects prioritize union labor and include clear protections to ensure workers receive fair wages and benefits.
