On Friday, May 16, more than 140 workers at Meadow Lakes in East Windsor, New Jersey, ratified a new union contract!

The new contract guarantees all workers receive an immediate, across-the-board wage increase, as well as increases annually for the life of the three-year contract. Workers will also receive a one-time ratification bonus. Finally, the union committee was also able to preserve the affordable union healthcare for Meadow Lakes members.

Congratulations to our members as well as those on the negotiating committee! The union committee included Bargaining Representatives Chad Brooks and Peter White, Director of Field Services Peggy Kelly, and Shop Stewards Irma Lamadrid, Richard Bell, Thomas Opoku, and Treena West. Great job!
