New Jersey § 34:13a-52

§ 34:13a-52.

No employer shall enter into a subcontracting agreement which affects the employment

of any employees in a collective bargaining unit represented by a majority representative

during the term that an existing collective bargaining agreement with the majority

representative is in effect. No employer shall enter into a subcontracting agreement for a period following the

term of the current collective bargaining agreement unless the employer: a. Provides written notice to the majority representative of employees in each collective

bargaining unit which may be affected by the subcontracting agreement and to the New

Jersey Public Employment Relations Commission, not less than 90 days before the employer

requests bids, or solicits contractual proposals for the subcontracting agreement;

and b. Has offered the majority representative of the employees in each collective bargaining

unit which may be affected by the subcontracting agreement the opportunity to meet

and consult with the employer to discuss the decision to subcontract, and the opportunity

to engage in negotiations over the impact of the subcontracting. The employer's duty to negotiate with the majority representative of the employees

in each collective bargaining unit shall not preclude the employer's right to subcontract

should no successor agreement exist.
