NJ supreme court rules against unions, in favor of Christie, saying he can cut pensions.

It boils down to the fact that in 2011, the unions came to an agreement with the state and a new contract was passed as a law in the legislature, except that for the law to be enforced, it would create long term debt, that can only be approached by a voter initiative.

So the state negotiated in bad faith? They promised things they couldn't deliver? What's to keep the unions from going on strike now given that their agreement with the state, in essence, has been gutted?
