New Jersey's largest state government employees' union says
it is suing Gov. Chris Christie over his plan to slash the state's pension
contributions.
Communications Workers of America State Director Hetty
Rosenstein announced the union's intentions Wednesday, saying Christie is
breaking the law by cutting payments.
The announcement comes one day after Christie announced
plans to cut the state's payments by about $2.5 billion over the next year as
the main element of an effort to bridge a projected $2.75 billion budget gap.
Christie and lawmakers agreed in 2012 to ramp up
contributions over seven years as part of a pension reform measure that also
requires higher contributions from employees.
The governor has been saying this year that that deal did
not go far enough.
