War on Wages Heats Up

Cumberland County
Unprecedented Progress In
Workforce Education

Many argue that raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour would serve as a
death toll for farms in the Garden State. { BY MARGIE BARHAM }

This personal commentary is the first in a series


of those that will continue in The Grapevine to
underscore the positive forces of change that
continue to make southern New Jersey an even
better place to live.

An opinion from SNJ Today President and


Founder Ken Pustizzi.

ew Jersey farmers say they will not be able to


compete on the world produce market if the proposed legislation to incrementally raise minimum
wage to $15 an hour is passed without exemption
for farm workers. According to farmers and business leaders,
this legislation would mean a drastic economic impact to the
state agriculture industry, as farmers who cannot absorb this
cost will not be able to survive.
According to New Jersey Farm Bureau Executive
Director Pete Furey, farms are uniquely vulnerable to the
state minimum wage rate. The New Jersey Farm Bureau represents a member of 11,000 farms and agricultural-related
businesses in the state. Farms with hired labor compete
directly with producers in other states, so increasing the
minimum wage rate puts New Jersey growers at a significant
competitive disadvantage. As a consequence, increases in the
state minimum wage rate also serve as an inducement for
producers in other states to target New Jerseys grocery and
other retail channels, further undercutting in-state growers.
Put plainly, explains Furey, not only is a New Jersey peach
farmer, for example, unable to increase the price of a box of
peaches in the wholesale marketplace to account for increased
labor costs, but a peach grower in South Carolina, Georgia or
elsewhere is all too eager to exploit this vulnerability, capitalizing on the spoils of New Jersey's vast consumer-base.
Furey further points out that many growers also provide
housing and transportation for their employees, out-of-pocket
benefits not reflected in the hourly wage rate. Agriculture is
the only industry we are aware of where such non-wage benefits are provided, he says. These expenses are significant for

ur brightest minds become educated


and find opportunities in other parts of
the country. I heard that 30 years ago
and I still hear it today from some of my business constituents. Many people, however, are
not familiar with the positive movement occurring to advance the area so that people will
learn here and stay here.
There are two major happenings that have
the potential to chart a new course for our
county. The first begins with the new
Cumberland County College president who will
be taking office July 1. Dr. Yves SalomonFernandez was recruited by a group of community and business leaders because of her ability
to be a very dynamic, inspirational leader not
only for the College, but our community as
well. She is being charged with advancing the
Countys economic development objectives as
they relate to workforce training and education.
The second is the opening of the new fulltime Cumberland County Technical Education
Center this September. It is the newest and most
advanced high school in the entire state and is
opening right here in Cumberland County!
Not only will it serve as a high school, its
intentional and strategic location on the campus
of the Countys College will enable the public
facility to function beyond the school day.

WAGES
Continued from cover
many growers, and enable farm employees to
avoid paying market-rate for rental or other
housing elsewhere.
The risk profile of farming is also relevant to this discussion. Farm businesses,
unlike any other industry segment, are
acutely susceptible to wholly uncontrollable
externalities, ranging from oscillations in
the weather and pressure borne from invasive insects and diseases, to name a few,
says Furey. To account for these risks, successful farm businesses actively manage
expenses wherever possible to maintain
profitability. A drastic increase in the minimum wage rate throws a wrench into their
ability to manage such risks.
Indeed it does, echoes John Ploch, president of Ploch Farms in Vineland. This family business started in 1915 and has survived
the Depression and 101 years of sometimesextreme weather conditions, and annual
economic fluctuations, but such a significant increase in wages would threaten its
existence.
Payroll cost is through the roof now,
and labor is our largest expense, says
Ploch, whose 280-acre farm employs 35
people. Our prices must remain competitive, so it comes down to how much we can
absorb. If we cannot make a decent living,
we have to decide if we can continue to
farm. I guess well cross that bridge when
we come to it.
Bill SCR-1500 would amend the State
Constitution and raise New Jerseys minimum wage to $9 per hour on January 1 of
the year following the amendments
approval (expected to be January 1, 2018)
followed by increases of a dollar each year
until it reaches $15 per hour on January 1,
2024. Starting in 2025, it further calls for
the minimum wage rate to keep pace with
cost-of-living increases, based on increases
in the consumer price index.
New Jersey State Assemblyman Bob
Andrzejczak (D-District 1) said he is generally opposed to the $15 minimum wage
increase and has been advocating for an
exemption for agriculture proposal. This is
an industry that cannot set its own prices,

By the Numbers
On April 14, the New Jersey
Department of Labor and Workforce
Development issued a news release,
which announced that New Jersey
employers added 17,300 nonfarm jobs in
March, according to preliminary data
from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS). It shows private sector employment increased by 78,800 jobs over the
past year (March 2015March 2016).
Garden State private sector employers
have added 265,000 jobs since February
2010, the recessionary low point for private sector employment in the state.
The release noted that New Jersey
residents who have reported to have jobs
again reached an all-time high, climbing
to a historic 4,378,500 in March 2016,
according to the BLS household survey.
Among the gains posted were in eight

for products and services if they are required


to give workers a 79 percent pay hike.
Small businesses would then have to pay
$22.50 for time and a half and $30 an hour
for overtime, she said. There is also the
ripple effect where those employees who are
now making $15 will also want raises commensurate with the 79 percent increase in
the minimum wage. Not to mention unemployment and workers compensation insurances all increase as payrolls are increased.
However, according to the key sponsor of
the bill, State Senator Stephen M. Sweeney
(D-District 3) who represents Cumberland,
Gloucester and Salem counties, this legislation provides a living wage to the nearly one
million New Jerseyans living in poverty and
will likely help businesses overall.
Furthermore, he quoted a New Jersey Policy
Perspective study that found that 90 percent
of those this increase would help are over
age 20; 61 percent work fulltime; 28 percent
are parents, and almost half of those attended or graduated college. New Jersey Policy
Perspective is a nonpartisan, nonprofit
organization that conducts research on public policy issues in New Jersey.
In a news release issued in February of
this year after he introduced the legislation,
Sweeney said that the phased-in schedule

of nine major private industry sectors.


Leisure and hospitality (+3,500) and education and health services (+3,400) experienced the most growth, followed by construction (+3,000), trade, transportation
and utilities (+2,900), professional and
business services (+1,600), other services
(+1,200), financial activities (+1,000) and
information (+600). Manufacturing was
down 200 jobs, while the public sector
recorded a gain of 300 jobs. Farming jobs
were not noted in the report.
Based on more complete reporting
from employers, previously released estimates for February were revised up by
3,400 to show an over-the-month total
nonfarm employment loss of 5,200 jobs.
Preliminary estimates had initially indicated an over-the-month loss of 8,600
nonfarm jobs. Preliminary BLS data for
April will be released on May 19.

will allow businesses to gradually absorb


the increases. He noted that a fairer wage
will also lower the burden on the state and
federal governments to provide assistance
for those living at or below the poverty levels and that it will spur spending.
The critics who always claim that the
sky is falling every time we raise the minimum wage are just trying to use scare tactics that just dont come true, said Sweeney
in a news release. They said we would lose
jobs when we raised it before but we actually gained jobs. They try to say its bad for
the economy but every legitimate study
shows that just isnt true.
Sweeney explained that when the minimum wage was increased in 2013, the
NJBIA predicted it would cause the loss of
31,000 jobs over a decade but instead, he
said that New Jersey has actually experienced one of the most significant employment increases since then, gaining approximately 29,000 jobs in 2014 and more than
64,000 jobs in 2015.
This bill has the support of state senators
representing nearly half of New Jerseys 40
legislative districts, including Senator Jim
Whelan (D-District 2) who represents
Atlantic County.
The plan to phase in the increase mirrors

legislation offered by U.S. Congressman


Donald Norcross (D-NJ1) and cosponsored
by Congressman Frank Pallone (D-NJ6) and
Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman
(D-NJ12) that would set the same minimum
pay scale nationally. Senator Sweeneys proposal would have the voters approve a constitutional amendment, the same process
used in 2013 to overcome Governor
Christies opposition. Assembly Majority
Leader Louis Greenwald will sponsor companion legislation in the Assembly.
Senators Sweeney and Turner said they
will also introduce legislation to provide tax
credits to small businesses that raise the
wages of minimum wage workers faster
than the schedule set in the proposed constitutional amendment,
According to Sweeneys news release, the
amendment would maintain the indexing
already in the constitution that creates
automatic future increases tied to inflation.
As an amendment to the state constitution,
the proposal would have to be approved by
both houses of the Legislature with majority votes in two consecutive years or with
three-fifth votes in one year. In order to
become law, voters would need to approve
the amendment by a simple majority. The
likely two-year timetable would have the
proposed amendment go to voters in 2017.
Last month, on April 3, California
Governor Jerry Brown (D) signed a law
making his the first state in the nation to
enact a $15 statewide minimum wage, while
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo
approved a $15 minimum wage to New York
City and its suburbs, with a $12.50 minimum elsewhere in New York State.
The Fight For 15, a movement that
started with unions and community groups
backing the efforts of fast food workers to
win a living wage, has become a national
movement and a critical element of this
years Democratic presidential campaigns,
according to Senator Sweeney. As more and
more states and cities raise their minimum
wageand thereby drive up the wages of all
workersconsumer spending will rise, and
with it, prosperity for all Americans, he
states in a news release. I

and exists almost entirely on the margins,


he explains. Bad weather, or too much good
weather, can lose a farmer a season, either
from losing a crop or prices driven too low
from too much supply. Andrzejczak, who
serves as chair of the Assemblys Agriculture
and Natural Resources Committee, further
noted that many of our states farmers also
provide their workers with compensation
for transportation, housing, food, and medical expenses, which drives pay over and
above their hourly wages.
If the bill fails to pass or Governor Chris
Christie vetoes it, the legislation will go to
the hands of the voter as a public referendum. Christie has indicated he would veto
such legislation. Andrzejczak said that he
and his colleagues Assemblyman R. Bruce
Land (D-District 1), and State Senator Jeff
Van Drew (D-District 1) are pushing for an
amendment to the legislation to exempt
farmers from this mandatory increase. The
three represent Atlantic, Cape May and
Cumberland counties.
At this point, I cannot speculate on
whether the minimum wage bill will pass,
or if it does whether the subsequent ballot
measure will be approved by the voters,
Andrzejczak says. But I do believe that if it
did, and agriculture was not exempted, it
would devastate one of the most fragile, and
absolutely necessary, industries that we
have in New Jersey.
Local business leaders agree that the legislation will harm businesses and ultimately
cost jobs. The minimum wage legislation is
an issue that we are following closely and as
the bill is currently written, we oppose it,
says Dawn Hunter, executive director of the
Vineland Chamber of Commerce. Like many
organizations that represent the business
community, they believe that a 79 percent
increase, even if phased in, is a cost that
businesses cannot absorb and will lead to
increases in costs of products and services,
reduction in jobs, and ultimately could result
in business closures.
We recognize that the agricultural community would be especially hard hit by this
increase, she notes and explains that a variety
of businesses that hire hourly workersseasonal employers who hire teenagers as summer help, for examplewill have to reduce
staffing levels and/or charge higher prices

Proud to Call
You Mom
Happy Mother's Day
to our mom, Anna
Corrado Magazzu
Trapani!
You have been a wonderful role model to
your two children and
your five grandchildren.
Your love for your family
is expressed in numerous ways, and we appreciate the sacrifices you have made
through the years. So many Italian family dinners you have cooked for us for
decades, encouraging togetherness and
family values which you hope to pass
on. Although you still wish to do everything exactly as you did when you were
a young wife, we are also happy that
you now give in to our wishes to celebrate some family holidays on us.
Your grandchildren express amazement at your continued high energy
level and zest for life.
Of course, they were not here 40
years ago when you faced deadly illness
in the face, and triumphed in the end.

You then spent decades volunteering your time and


energy organizing large
fundraising events for the
local chapter of the
American Cancer Society, in
addition to also visiting
many cancer-stricken
patients in your "Reach to
Recovery" program, which
you helped create, to offer
them encouragement against
tough odds, and sadly only
some of them survived.
A highlight of my life was accompanying you and Dad on several trips to
see our cousins in Italy, on both sides
of the family, and watch you enjoy their
kind hospitality, watching you pitch in
even while a guest, and witnessing your
enjoyment of hearing the Italian conversation and merriment which prompted
many invitations for return visits.
Outside of your family, you also
have an extended family of friends.
Some of them who are younger consider themselves to be like an honorary daughter or son. We are all
proud to call you "Mom."
Love, your son, Michael

ple in the neighborhood, thought proper to


try whether they could not obtain remuneration by having recourse to suits at law.
ThereforeCapt. Allen, John Duffield,
Stacy Hepburn, and others, brought as
many as half a dozen suits for damages
against some of the Whigs.
In the meantime, Cumberland County
residents managed to raise enough money
to provide attorneys for those involved in
the lawsuit. Advocates for the plaintiffs
included General Joseph Reed of
Philadelphia, and the proceedings did not
result in the repayment Captain Allen and
the others had hoped for.
William McMahons South Jersey Towns
reports that Sheriff Jonathan Elmer was
assigned to arrest the perpetrators and
gather together a grand jury. What seems
to have been overlooked was the fact that
Elmers two brothers, Ebenezer and
Timothy, had participated in the incident.
So the sheriff selected a jury from relatives
of the tea burners or known sympathizers.
After the presentation of enough evidence
to convict anyone, the grand jury voted no
cause for action.
The ruling resulted in the removal of
Elmer as sheriff by New Jersey Governor
William Franklin, whose Tory or proBritish stance was well known. Elmer was
replaced by none other than Daniel Bowen,
who was charged with putting together a
new grand jury for a second trial.
McMahon writes, This Bowen did; but
again the patriots were in the majority, and
the remaining Tories were timid. This jury
also brought in no cause for action.
Barbers book reports that as the
American contest soon became serious, and
hostilities were carried on in different parts
of the states, the suits were dropped, and
never after renewed. It seems, however,
that the British never forgot their humiliation at the hands of Cumberland County
residents, as Barbers book explains: In the
revolutionary contest, the inhabitants of
the county upon the shore of Delaware Bay
were frequently alarmed and sometimes
plundered by the refugees. When the
British fleet ascended the Delaware to
attack Philadelphia, a party of armed men
landed and destroyed some cattle upon the
salt marsh between the Cohansey and Stow
creeks. I

reenwich-area youth broke into


Daniel Bowens cellar on
December 22, 1774, and
removed and burned a supply of
East India tea deposited there by Captain J.
Allen of the brig Greyhound for safekeeping. It was a decisive statement by
Cumberland County residents concerning
British taxes. But the aftermath of the
Greenwich Tea Burning seemed to serve as
a similar commentary as well.
Michael J. Chiarappa, in his essay
Colonial Greenwich: The Emergence of a
Delaware Bay Port Community, contained
in the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian
Societys collection, believes that the incident carried with it more than just political
fervor. Much of this event, he writes,
suggests more than straightforward discontent with British tax policy, but was
also, given that many of the tea burners
were Presbyterian, a challenge to longstanding Quaker hegemony in the area.
Indeed, some of the tea burners were educated at Rev. Enoch Greens Presbyterianaffiliated classical school at Deerfield, New
Jersey and some at the Presbyterian-affiliated College of New Jersey (today
Princeton University).
Notwithstanding the religious and political agendas the tea burning exhibited, it
was the legal ramification that immediately
took precedence in an attempt to bring to
justice the perpetrators of what, in the eyes
of the British authorities, was a heinous
crime. The task proved to be much easier
than might be suspected.
Despite the Indian disguises used by the
participants, everyone was aware of who
comprised the raiding party. John Warner
Barber in his text Historical Collections of
the State of New Jersey, identifies the group
as consisting of Dr. Ebenezer Elmer,
Richard Howell, David Pierson, Stephen
Pierson, Silas Whitecar, Timothy Elmer,
Rev. Andrew Hunter, Rev. Philip Tithian,
Alexander Moore, Jr., Clarence Parvin,
John Hunt, James Hunt, Lewis Howell,
Henry Stacks, James Ewing, Dr. Thomas
Ewing, Josiah Seeley, and Joel Fithian.
The British authorities and sympathizers were irate over the tea burning and
called for severe measures in dealing with
the matter. Barbers book offers a look at
the legal action taken: The owners of the
tea, finding that some commiseration for
their loss had been excited among the peo-

In collaboration with the College, there


Cumberland County residents will be able to
access late afternoon and evening adult training in a flexible manner like never before.
The new programs to be offered by
CCTEC and the College will offer flexibility so that someone who is working a fulltime job can simultaneously learn a new
skill or trade to advance in the workforce.
During SNJ Todays most recently televised Board of Chosen Freeholders
Meeting, CCTEC Superintendent Dr. Dina
Elliot addressed the Freeholders with
information about the many programs
being offered by the new school. She also
fielded a multitude of questions. The following is what has specifically caught my
attention.
The decision-making process for evaluating programs has historically been based
on the amount of interest and number of
participants in each program as well as
existing career opportunities. This, I
understand to be the planning process
used by most secondary and post-secondary learning institutions. If there are
too few enrolled participants, the programs are dropped.
Dr. Elliott, in particular, was questioned on the plumbing program. It is my

understanding that currently, at the


shared-time CCTEC, there are 15 students
enrolled in that program. Whats eye
opening is that in those classes there are
only three shared-time high school students training alongside of 12 adults.
Thats right only three high school students are currently enrolled in CCTECs
plumbing program.

Ken Pustizzi, President & Founder, SNJ Today

I see this as a serious community


awareness issue. I do not see this as only a
technical training school issue.
It is not the sole responsibility of
CCTEC to promote a singular skill and
trade like plumbing. Businesses, workforce development agencies and county
leadership in general need to understand
future career and employment needs and

clearly communicate those opportunities


to the general public. You see, if more of
our youth decide to apply for that trade or
any other, the school then has the ability
to reinstitute closed programs at our
state-of-the-art facility.
Developing partnership agreements
with Cumberland County College, the
Countys Center for Workforce
Development and other local and state
agencies to ensure the new facility provides programs to serve both high school
and adult students is where the CCTEC
administration needs to stay focused.
They are also simultaneously preparing
the school for its Fall opening as they
transition to a full-time high school.
These are monumental tasks that will
result in county education advancements.
These activities, these significant education changes happening right now have
the opportunity to be real game changers
for our area. I believe they are only the
beginning stages of positive change. I
encourage community residents to be
patient and well informed as important
constructive changes continue. Loud negative attitudes will silence the good ideas,
ensure broken spirits and result in more of
the status quo.
As long as I am investing in this community, Ill do my best to encourage its
progress. It is only with this progress that
we will improve the quality of life in our
entire region. I

Whirlwind Week

s I write this, we just finished a


week that was a real whirlwind
of activity, but it really felt good!
We began on Monday, April 25,
with a pizza party for the Police Athletic
Leagues Girls In Action to show appreciation for all they do to help during Clean-Up
and Planting Days. Theyve been truly dedicated volunteers and we wanted to give
them a relaxed evening of fun and camaraderie. It took place at the PAL building
and Mayor Bermudez was on hand to give
each in the group a certificate.
Meanwhile, we were putting the finishing touches on preparations to host Main
Street representatives and community
leaders from throughout the state for Main
Street New Jerseys Design Institute. It was
an opportunity for us to roll out the welcome mat and show what weve been
doing. Grant Plaza was filled that day with
over 150 peoplerepresentatives from
Main Streets, Economic Development lead-

ers, and others. The speaker, Roger Brooks,


is a world-renowned expert on destination
creation and his presentation was phenomenal. We left with our heads full of ideas to
take back and adapt to our communities.
Some of these ideas are initiatives that
weve been working on, while others will
be discussed in our teamsas they were in
our Economic Restructuring Team meeting
the next day. No doubt, youll be as excited
as well be, as you see progress on these
plans. Despite cloudy, damp weather, it was
a great day for our downtown.

Spring

We are excited too

City of Vineland officials will conduct a


walk-through of the residential properties
located within the Kil-Tone Superfund site
on Thursday, May 5, to review progress the
EPA is making on the remedial phase of the
project. It will also give city officials the
opportunity to meet with residents and to
answer any questions they may have
regarding the project. City officials will
meet at the corner of 6th and Cherry Street
at approximately 2:45 p.m.
The EPA is currently conducting an
interim removal action on 19 residential
properties located closest to the former KilTone Company Site to address the high levels of arsenic and lead present in the surface soil. The interim action consists of
using landscaping to greatly reduce the
potential for exposure to bare soil areas on
the property. A final cleanup will be determined and carried out in the future.

Broad St. School Receives


Gardening Grant
Broad Street School in Bridgeton was
awarded a three-year whole-school garden grant by the New Jersey Agricultural

Society. The
Character
Education
Committee and the
School Garden
Committee wanted
to develop a school
garden to offer students, faculty, parents, and community members an opportunity to use the garden as a way to build a
bond between the Bridgeton community,
home, and school.
This is an opportunity for all the stakeholders to learn about nutrition, leadership, teamwork, pride, and collaboration
by participating in this farm-to-table
learning activity in school. The garden
will give students the opportunity to learn
where their food comes from, how it
grows, and that a healthy diet starts with
fresh fruits and vegetables. Teachers can
use the garden and create integrated lessons with the core curriculum, including
math, social studies, language arts, science, health, and art.
Kindergarten students Iverson Garcia, left,
and Daimar Juarez show off their lima

CCC Jazz and Wind to Play in


Washington, D.C.

The Vineland High School Cap n


Dagger Club production of Mary Poppins
captured two top awards at the 2016
Student Theater Festival at the Bucks
County Playhouse recently.
The group was honored for Best
Choreography and received the coveted
Best Ensemble award. In addition to the
two awards, the cast has been asked back
to be featured in the Best of Show performance on May 15 to compete against
five to seven of the regions top schools.
They will compete before four Broadway
veterans, including Bucks County
Playhouse Producing Director and Tony
Award-winning producer Alexander
Fraser, Will Hammerstein (grandson of
Oscar Hammerstein II), Tony Award-winning playwright Christopher Durang, and
Broadway actress Jennifer Van Dyck. The
winner of this performance will receive a
cash prize to support the performing arts
department of their school.
The dance scenes in Mary Poppins were
arranged by Natalie Quackenbush. Best
ensemble is considered the most difficult
award to win because it involves the entire
cast. Melanie Anderson was director and
co-producer of the show. Hank Ehrlich
was stage manager and co-producer for
the production. Eileen Bosco was musical
director. The show was originally performed on four dates in March in the auditorium of VHS South.

Credit Union Donates to Ovarian Cancer Care


South Jersey Federal Credit
Union employees presented a
check in the amount of $2,200 to
representatives from the Cooper
Foundation on behalf of the
SJFCU employees Charitable
Journey program. Employees
raised $1,100, which was generously matched by the Credit
Union, bringing the total donation
to $2,200. The monies donated
will assist the MD Anderson
Cancer Center at Cooper in providing care to patients undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer accounts for about 3 percent of cancers among women, but it
causes more deaths than any other cancer of the female reproductive system,
according to the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society estimates
that 22,280 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer and about 14,240
women will die from the disease this year.
We are incredibly thankful to the employees of South Jersey Federal Credit
Union for selecting MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper as the beneficiary of
their Charitable Journey employee giving program, said Susan Bass Levin,
President and CEO of the Cooper Foundation and an ovarian cancer survivor. By
joining together in the fight against ovarian cancer, we can help save lives.
Charitable Journey is an employee sponsored charity program in which any
South Jersey Federal Credit Union employee can nominate a worthy organization for
which to donate money. A different charity is randomly selected each Quarter and
funds are then raised by employees. As an incentive to donate, SJFCU employees
who contribute are permitted to dress down for charity on Fridays.

Focusing on important issues that
impact our business community.

LEGISLATIVE CORNER

The GVCC is also very concerned and is actively opposing


these three proposed bills that could adversely affect businesses. Make your voice be heard by contacting our legislators at: njleg.state.nj.us/districts. We are in District 1. You
can also read the bills in their entirety on that website.

{ C2 } GREATER VINELAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

MAY 2016

The GVCC has joined a coalition of the NJBIA to reform


Estate and Retirement Income Taxes. There are two bills
associated with this effort, S-1728 and S-998. We believe
that this reform is crucial and these two major tax issues
need to be addressed to stop the exodus of people moving
out of state. We are taking action because we understand
how out-migration impacts your business.

S799 MANDATED PAID SICK LEAVE


Recently amended by the NJ Senate, it would require businesses to offer employees a pool of paid time off (vacation,
personal, sick, etc.). For every 30 hours worked, an hour of
paid time off would accrue. Businesses with fewer than 10
employees would be required to allow employees to accrue
up to 40 hours and businesses with 10 or more employees
would be required to allow employees to accrue up to 72
hours. All employees would be allowed to carry over those
hours year to year. This legislation applies to full-time, parttime and seasonal employees.
A15 RAISES MINIMUM WAGE TO $15 / HOUR
This bill proposes to raise the NJ State minimum wage to
$15 per hour for 40 hours of working time in any week and

1 times the employees regularly hourly wage for each hour


of working time in excess of 40 hours in any week, with a few
exceptions. It also provides that the minimum wage rate will
be increased by any increase in the consumer price index.
GVCC Comments: A new minimum wage legislation was enacted less than three years ago and is also tied to the consumer
price index. We need to allow some time for that to develop
before enacting new legislation. That previous bill also became
part of our constitution, which we are strongly opposed to.
See this weeks issue
(May 4) of The Grapevine
for an in-depth story
about how raising the
C O N N E C T I N G YO U TO
S O U T H J E R S E Y. W E E K LY.
minimum wage will
affect Cumberland County businesses, particularly farmers
and others who employ seasonal workers. Then go to snjtoday.com to voice your opinion in an online poll.
A1117 NJ SCHEDULES THAT WORK ACT
This bill provides that employees may request a change to
their work schedules without fear of retaliation, and requires
that employers consider these requests. This applies to any
employer with more than 15 employees. Employees may
request a change in terms and condition of employment
relating to number of hours required to work or be on call
for work; times when the employee is required to work or be
on call for work; and the location. The bill also details other
specific requirements for retail, food service or cleaning
service employers. Among other items, the legislation
involves advance notice of shift changes and paying employees if actual hours of work are less than what was scheduled.

While I could sing the praises of the Vineland


Chamber and how it harmonizes the voices of local
small businesses to our State legislature with delicate precision, that would only be scratching the
surface. Being a part of an organization whose
desire is the welfare and success of local businesses daily reinforces to me that the American Dream
is alive and well and helps me to recognize those
that are working behind the scenes to make our
town as strong as it can be.
As a member of the Chamber, our company
aligns with our community in helping those businesses and individuals
whose life is committed to helping others. Chamber of Commerce membership represents our pledge to the betterment of the communities in which
we live and work and are honored to be a part of.

Charter School Receives


Approvals of Site Plan and
Preschool Expansion
Officials at the Vineland Public
Charter School (VPCS) received
approval from the New Jersey Division
of Childhood Education to add preschool classes to its enrollment for the
2016-2017 School year. In addition,
during a special meeting of the
Vineland Planning Board on April 21,
the site plan for construction of the
VPCSs new home on Pennsylvania

The site plan was presented by
Highmark School Development, LLC
professionals and was unanimously
approved. The school, to house a projected enrollment of 452 students in
PK-Grade 9, will open for the 20162017 School Year. A groundbreaking
ceremony is planned for early May.
This announcement follows
approval granted in February of this
year to include a 9th grade for the
2016-2017 School Year.
Once again, we are pleased to
receive the approvals needed to
expand the availability of Charter
School education for the children of
Vineland, said Ann F. Garcia, Ed. D,
Executive Director, VPCS. In addition
to providing the citys first-ever Charter

Easter at
Pampered Pup
Luxury Pet
Resort was an
enjoyable day
for the whole
family with the
Easter Bunny.
TLC Animal
Rescue ran the
photo sessions
with the Easter
Bunny who took
more than 50
pictures with
children and pets visiting the event.
Thanks to the community support,
TLC Animal Rescue was able to save
several more dogs that are now available for adoption.
Chance, pictured here with the
Easter Bunny, is an American Bulldog

mix who was born 6/29/14. He is a


very well mannered male and plays
well with big and small dogs. He is
child, cat and critter friendly. Chance
is very well leash trained and will walk
at your pace and is learning to sit
when his handler stops. He is house
and potty trained. He loves to sleep in
bed and cuddle. Overall, Chance is a
great dog for any home. Apply to
adopt through the TLC Animal
Rescue.
The event, in partnership with B&B
Animal Services and the Cumberland
County SPCA, to benefit the CCSPCA
and TLC Animal Rescue was just the
first of many collaborations.
