‘Outraged’ union leaders join Sweeney in seething over Supreme Court ruling on pensions
Infuriated and "fighting mad" at a press conference in the statehouse following a Supreme Court ruling this afternoon that sided with Gov. Chris Christie's administration and against public sector unions over a slated contribution to the state's already beleaguered pension and benefit system, labor leaders joined Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-3) to tear into the high court's decision, calling it a "travesty" and a "setback" for public workers and the state's economy as a whole. Seething, they vowed to continue fight for fully-funded pension payments in spite of the decision.
