Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey held that subcontracting decisions are non‑negotiable matters of managerial prerogative, that a workweek provision is negotiable, and that procedural aspects of transfer and reassignment are negotiable while substantive criteria are not; the Court affirmed the Appellate Division on the workweek and procedural transfer issues and reversed it on the substantive subcontracting and certain transfer clauses. Justice O’Hern and Justice Handler filed partial concurrences/dissents.
