"Retro" doesn't really mean retro, the way it's used in the rest of the world. Could you see your credit card waiting years for its money?? So, 10% over seven years isn't even keeping up with the "cost of living"; which is a little over 2% currently. <br />Another teacher asked me if the Taylor law had been brought to the supreme court to see if its legal. I don't know the answer to that, does anyone out here? <br />Look at what the teachers did in Chicago two years ago. They struck for three days and the city gave them a fair contract. I just wish our leadership was more in the Chicago mold than in the business model it seems to be in. Show some back bone Mulgrew!!!

There is enough blame already and we need to realize that the quibble of the union, the wasteland of the administrators who have little or no teaching experience, will eventually shut up. Good teachers just teach their students to teach themselves. Just keep your mouths shut and be happy that you have every single weekend off and you enjoy MAJOR holiday breaks. Per session is only an offer for more $, not a mandatory event. Let's sign and let be. Do you realize how this economy works? We are not a private company, we are paid by taxes, we teach all children all we can in the time we have them, we can do no more. GEt the ballot out and let us sign it and get the money, we will eventually be made "whole!"
