Who are You Bargaining For?
sp-eye:
The question of the day is: WHY is the SPEA Negotiating Team dragging out negotiations for 2012-13 (Hello! We're beyond the midway point! Time to start working for 2013-14!!!)
The school board offered a very fair package which addresses what SPEA (and WEAC) have declare o be a primary mission: raising the starting wage for teachers. But that's not good enough. You see, in order to do that with the pot of money available, a significant portion must be earmarked for those teachers with 1-6 years of experience. That means that a small amount would be available to more tenured teachers, most n the form of a stipend (as opposed to a base salary builder).
It's called compromise, people! You are getting to do some serious good for starting teachers. But you're not willing to accept that because this plan calls for either a small token stipend (or perhaps nothing) for those teachers that already earn like...say...$86,000 in base salary. REALLY? Is THAT what unions are all about?
