Today, she finds herself on the front lines of two major issues in New Jersey: the current strike of 39,000 Verizon employees and the upcoming public question on a constitutional amendment that would require the state to make regular payments to public pensions. Rosenstein talks about both of these issues in this episode, as well as the need for a law to protection New Jersey&amp;rsquo;s children welfare workers on the job and a bit of how she came to start her career as a voice for labor in the Garden State.
