Teachers such as I only take 2 days a year for sick days. I have banked over 120 days in my CAR. The less days I can bank, means less money that I can cash out at retirement? I do not plan on ever having kids but now I will be punished so as to pay for teachers to have a paid leave? This is total bullshit. As a couple of posters mentioned above, creating a buy in for teachers who want to go on leave is the fairest and most sane way to do this. Any givebacks will pit teacher against teacher on this topic. People underestimate how many teachers either don't have kids, already had kids and don't want anymore, or are never going to have kids. These teachers will be fuming at loosing CAR days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-80558722727855433142017-12-05T04:36:04.275-05:002017-12-05T04:36:04.275-05:00My prediction for what it's worth: Less of a r...My prediction for what it's worth: Less of a raise will barely be noticed. As with the last lousy contract, members will see a shiny signing bonus and be distracted from seeing a couple of 0% raises on a multiyear contract. Lowering number of sick days is what will set off alarm bells for members. Some of our suburban peers get more than our allotted 10 days so taking from our 10 will be another slap in the face from our union.

You hit the nail on the head ...THANK YOU ANNO 6:21. You hit the nail on the head on this. Create a buy in for teachers. This is the fairest way to "pay" for maternity leave. Oh yeah, love following the UFT Facebook feed on paid leave. It seems like a bunch of teachers are thinking that we are actually going to be able to vote on paid maternity leave. Me says that if any deal happens it will be the usual back room, secret bullshit that happens with the UFT/DOE. Only way we would be able to vote on it is if it is a part of any new contract that must eventually get ratified by the rank and file. (I do not see that happening) If there are any form of givebacks on this such as a longer school day or reduction in sick days I will be promptly quitting the UFT after Janus comes through. Why? Because Mulgrew is saying there will be no givebacks. If he lies to us on this, he will continue to lie to us in the future, just like with his lies about the DOE wanting more observations when in fact it was the UFT that demanded more observations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-87129192786341699352017-12-04T18:21:45.719-05:002017-12-04T18:21:45.719-05:00Why not have teachers at the start of their career...Why not have teachers at the start of their careers make a choice if they want the benefit?<br /><br /> If they do, they pay for the benefit, much like paying into an insurance pool.<br /> If they decline, no benefit.
