The Workplace Democracy Enhancement Act (WDEA) requires boards of education to send local associations information about their respective and potential members.
Specifically, it requires public employers to provide—within 10 calendar days of hiring—the association the following information about a new employee:
- Name
- Job title
- Worksite location
- Home address
- Work telephone number
- Date of hire
- Work email address
- Any personal email addresses and home and personal cellular telephone numbers on file with the public employer.
Additionally, this information should be supplied to the association for all negotiation unit members every 120 days, preferably in September, January and June. Once processed by the NJEA Membership Division, local presidents and membership chairs will be able to reconcile their listing using the WDEA Recon Tool found in their Web Apps.
NJEA requests that each month that you have new employees, submit a Potential Member Reporting Form with the appropriate information. This form will be used to help keep your membership and potential membership records up to date. This form can be found on njea.org. On a laptop or desktop computer, hover over your name in the upper-right-hand corner of the homepage. Click on “Documents,” then “Forms,” and look for “Potential Member Report.”
