It’s upsetting for Judi to see how underpaid New Jersey teachers are, especially when you consider how overpaid some of the big shots in their union are
New Jersey's biggest teachers' union on Saturday endorsed Phil Murphy's bid for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, saying his "pro-public education stance is in line" with its members' values.
So the West Orange Teachers Union kept the teachers from attending parent-teacher night because they're embroiled in a contract negotiation. How absurd and hurtful.
The kids are headed back to class over the next week, but contract negotiations remain unresolved in at least 20 percent of New Jersey's school districts, according to initial figures from the New Jersey School Boards Association.
Gov. Chris Christie and New Jersey's biggest teacher's union are again headed to a courtroom to settle differences after a judge ruled Wednesday the labor group must explain why it skipped meetings to help determine health insurance coverage and rates for public school teachers and retirees.
If you're a teacher then you gotta listen up. Tired of your hard earned money going to candidates and political causes that you don't support? Did you know you can opt out of the political portion of your union dues?
