To All Members of the
GFT:
Many members have been
inquiring about the progress of our current negotiations and while
the exact details of what is being discussed at the table cannot be
disclosed I can let you know the following information:
The GFT
Negotiating Team has been meeting since the end of January in order
to go through the language of the contract in order to address any
changes that need to be made, make the language reflect the current
state terminology, and finally to make the language clear and
concise in order to avoid any confusion about the contract’s
meaning. It is a tedious process that requires the contract be
intensively studied and any language changes must be researched by
the team and our attorney in order to assure future language is
enforceable according to the statutes of New Jersey. These changes
are then presented to the Board for their approval or counter. The
Board also provides the team with proposed changes for the Team’s
approval, the Team’s counter offer or the Team’s refusal.
