Reaffirms continuation of Rutgers Institute of Management and Labor Relations; appropriates $750,000.

This bill reaffirms the continuation of Rutgers University's Institute of Management and Labor Relations for its 75th anniversary and allocates $750,000 annually in state funds to support its work. The Institute will provide affordable or free educational programs - including classes, webinars, and conferences - to New Jersey residents on labor-management relations, workforce issues, and workplace dynamics. It will also conduct research on labor-related problems and maintain an advisory council with equal representation from labor, management, and the public. The funding is supplemental to existing state allocations and specifically supports the Institute’s educational outreach and research activities.
