Jersey City may be ready to settle with city supervisors who are owed hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of dollars for working throughout the coronavirus pandemic state of emergency in New Jersey. A clause in the contract with the Jersey City Supervisor's Association (JCSA), a 140-member supervisor union, says that workers are to be paid double-time for all hours worked during a state of emergency declared by either the Jersey City mayor or the governor. The Jersey City Council will vote on a resolution Wednesday to hire a consultancy agency to provide actuarial services for a payment plan that would possibly settle a grievance filed by the JCSA against the city.
