Establishes employee protections for certain employees of New Jersey City University in event of merger with Kean University.
This bill requires New Jersey City University (NJCU) and Kean University to protect unionized faculty and professional staff during a potential merger. It prohibits termination, layoff, or reassignment for three years after the merger and ensures internal hiring priority for vacant positions created by the merger. Existing union contracts, salaries, benefits, and job security terms must remain unchanged for three years, with Kean University barred from altering these without union consent. Violations allow unions to seek immediate court action or binding arbitration through New Jersey's Public Employment Relations Commission.
