New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is headed into contract talks with unions that are still smarting over wage freezes and higher health-care payments imposed during his first term.
Negotiations with all employees except state police are slated to begin this month, according to a bond offering statement. Workers affected have four-year contracts that expire on June 30. No talks have been scheduled, said Michael Drewniak, a Christie spokesman.
