The New Jersey legislators remain at the forefront of forward-thinking elected officials seeking to protect workers and communities from the devastating effects of sudden job loss. Again this year, New Jersey legislators introduced innovative legislation that would: 1) provide access to certain job training courses for employees affected by plant closings, mass layoffs, or transfer of operations (A 1799 and S 397); 2) allow persons affected by certain plant closings, transfers and mass layoffs to receive temporary suspension of payment of interest on mortgage loans (A 1802 and S 916); and provide for expedited injunction for violations of law requiring prenotification of certain plant closings, transfers and mass layoffs (A 1807 and S 398).
Each of the bills remain pending before the committees of the state Assembly and Senate.
