The Star-Ledger: Rutgers, workers reach accord to keep union campaign civil
Rutgers University and the American Federation of Teachers announced a truce yesterday, ending a feud over a drive to unionize mid-level administrators.
The parties signed a neutrality agreement just weeks after Gov. Jon Corzine demanded Rutgers stop sending employees e-mails extolling the virtues of nonunion employment. A handful of state lawmakers also had threatened to cut state funding for the university if Rutgers President Richard McCormick didn’t cease “anti-union” activities.
