On Wednesday, June 14, nearly a hundred CWA Local 1037 workers at Passaic County Board of Social Services picketed outside the workplace in Paterson to demand higher wages and respect. After lengthy negotiations, the parties have reached an agreement on many issues, but economic issues including salaries remain unresolved.

Workers are determined to continue mobilizing to win the respect and fair pay that reflects the value they bring to New Jersey residents in Passaic County.
