Good morning,
Can you please clarify your request?  You specifically requested the
number of employees who have NJEA dues withheld from their paychecks,
however I need clarification with the current number of district employees
in the collective bargaining unit?  Are you seeking the total number of
employees in any collective bargaining unit?
Please be advised that the clock stops until we receive the answer to our
question.
Thank you,
Sheri
