Yesterday, ICC joined public officials & community groups from across Essex County to push for the passage of the Polluters Pay Act (S2338)!

Corporate polluters have profited BILLIONS, while everyday families in Newark and throughout the state suffer the devastating financial and environmental costs of the climate crisis and the man-made environmental impacts that come with it.

This landmark legislation will require large corporations to pay $50 billion over 20 years to fund climate resiliency projects in New Jersey, safeguarding our local infrastructure, utilities, healthcare, agriculture, and schools.

📢 NJ WORK RIGHTS TIP: UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE

Lost your job or had your hours reduced? You may qualify for Unemployment Insurance.

If you lose your job through no fault of your own, or your work hours are significantly reduced, don’t assume you are not eligible for benefits. Apply.

Your employer does not make the final decision about whether you qualify for Unemployment Insurance. The New Jersey Department of Labor determines eligibility.

💡 Quick Tip: Apply as soon as possible after you stop working or your hours are reduced. Waiting to file could affect when your benefits begin.

📲 For more information:
Text your FULL NAME and "WORKERS RIGHTS" to 973-346-7050
