Labor WINS in Palmyra School Bond Referendum

Palmyra Township Residents Vote to Invest in Safe and Secure Schools

The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is proud to announce that on Tuesday, March 12th, Palmyra Township voters approved a School Bond Referendum to invest in new classrooms, a new elementary school playground and improved security measures. These improvements will allow students and teachers to thrive in the best possible learning environment. This will create good union jobs and save the community money by taking advantage of a state grant.

The Burlington County Central Labor Council and the Southern NJ Building Trades Council spearheaded the effort in favor of the referendum, working alongside the New Jersey State AFL-CIO, our affiliates and community partners. Together, we sent letters, text messages, made phone calls, shared information on social media and visited union members and their families at their homes in Palmyra Township to educate them on the issues at stake and encourage them to vote for the referendum.

We would like to thank Burlington CLC President Adam Liebtag, Southern NJ Building Trades Council President Daniel Cosner, our affiliates and all of our hundreds of volunteers for everything they did in support of the referendum.

Working together, Labor WINS in Palmyra!
