2. Sherrill also blocking collective bargaining

“…many state employees feared Sherrill was "DOGEing New Jersey," a reference to the Elon Musk-led department in the Trump administration that laid off thousands of federal employees.

The International Federation of Professional & Technical Engineers Local 195, which represents many state employees, said this was a clear violation of their collective bargaining agreement and told employees to not submit their resignations.

"Our CBA does not authorize any employer to demand a resignation without due process or mutual agreement," Vice President Melvin Dwyer said. "Such actions undermine negotiated protections and contractual rights. We are actively communicating with the relevant agencies and have engaged legal counsel to review all available remedies."

Not sure how this issue is turning out at the moment.

State cops on horseback is bullshit.
