I remember the union threatening certain sectors, such as the homebound teachers, with layoffs if we didn't defer our money. This was an outrageous lie. I agree, I'm sick and tired of bankrolling the rest of the city on my relatively shitty salary.Ms. Tsourisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477669229969550311.post-37448273339911898642010-03-26T18:20:22.041-04:002010-03-26T18:20:22.041-04:00Ms Tsouris,

I had to wait awhile for that money - I think 18 months. The union is always bailing out the city, but the city is the first throw the teachers under a freaking bus. <br /><br />I want my raise; I don't want to defer it; I don't care what's the city financial problem/crisis. The other unions got their raises I want mine. No raises, then the unions should come in and teach to the students and I'll do their jobs. When I get my raise, then we can switch back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477669229969550311.post-4155907696302614052010-03-25T22:51:01.258-04:002010-03-25T22:51:01.258-04:00After spending close to $20 at Staples yesterday f...After spending close to $20 at Staples yesterday for copies of exams for 2 classes (self contained special ed), I came home to that Op Ed column. The school had a copy machine crisis. I had enough work to do without dealing with copying and collating sets of tests. After all, I am my own secretary and clerical assistant. All this plus the the lesson planning and chasing down worksheets, since the textbooks are almost useless. Then there are the parent phone calls and mandated IEP conferences. I am not sacrificing any more; back during the NYC fiscal crisis in the early '70's under mayor Abe Beame, teachers deferred pay raises to "save" the city. They were paid back (with some interest) 15 years later. This is something that UFT Unity bozos deny happened but I know for a fact that it happened since I worked with those who were forced to sacrifice a lot of money at the time. How about if the garbagemen sacrifice their next pay raise? Why always us? Why are we so expendable? Why, Mr. Hoyt?Ms. Tsourisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477669229969550311.post-72069663799226268132010-03-25T17:50:35.406-04:002010-03-25T17:50:35.406-04:00I hear they make good money.I hear they make good money.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.com
