Members of the International Federation of Professional and
Technical Engineers Union Local 194 will hold a fundraiser in Trenton on
Thursday. The local is collecting cash to fight against proposals to privatize
toll collections and increase automation of toll collections on the New Jersey
Turnpike and Garden State Parkway.
The New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which operates both toll
roads, said last year it would seek proposals to privatize E-ZPass and cash
toll collections in 2016. The agency made the announcement while it sought more
concessions from the union.
The agency in 2011 reached a two-year contract in which the
union accepted wage and benefits concessions to delay the prospect of
privatization.
