New Jersey Teachers Group Criticized for Promoting Pro-Abortion March (NJEA & March for Choice)
ML/NJ
BUMP!
Do it. Within two years, every “slot” would be filled and annual costs would be greatly reduced with no effect on quality.
Buh, bye. You can run but ya can’t hide. The truth is that pensions and benefits are unaffordable and are going to get cut sooner or later.
Christie need to do for the NJEA what Reagan did for the air-controllers union.
bye bye
In a battle between Christie & the NJEA, my money is on Christie.
Oh, please. If I calculated my salary change from three years to five years, the results are virtually neglible. The people most affected would be those who would not seek to retire anyway. Gloom and doom nonsense. They should be happy they can retire.
When Gov. Christi appeared on CNBC, he reported that for an investment of $157,000 during a typical NJ teacher’s career, they would collect over $3,000,000 in retirement and health benefits....and New Jersey is broke!
Too bad he has to be the pooper-scooper who must clean up the debt piled up by the NEA and the Democrats, but kudos to him for trying.
They’ve had a money grab for decades and today’s public “education” is the result. Yet somehow getting rid of them will cause big problems . . .yeah, right.
Pennsylvania produces a large surplus of teaching school graduates, particularly here in the southwest part of the state. Only a small fraction of them can find positions close to home. The last time our school board had vacancies to fill, they reported 300 or so applicants for every position. We’re just one state, so I’m sure New Jersey will no problem finding replacements who would love to work even a little closer to home.
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. The schools will most likely improve. Cutting away dead wood tends to do that.
” ...the state has for 15 years underfunded its share,...”
ok, so who was in charge for the past 15 years? Guess the state’s underfunding started (according to the union) with Christie Todd Whitman, but after her weren’t they all Dems?
God love the really good, dedicated teachers, whatever portion of the overall count they may represent, but with all due respect, the state funded retirement packages just aren’t sustainable.
The same need to be in DC - and the retirement bennies cut way down.
Let them live like the rest of us - who pay for it all.
Chaos? My Obama (located opposite my pie hole).
The fewer union teachers, the better.
Wanna bet we can gain MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENTS within a year after getting rid of all union idiots?
(Yes, I know there are good teachers in there...but the fact is there are even more good ones who are not members of the Comunionist Party.)
Shove it up your Obamas, unions.
These idiots are pro-abortion? How many aborted babies wind up as students for these dummies to teach? Talk about doing yourself in.
“Asking them to step aside, there’s a tradeoff, it’s not just a windfall.””
It’s voluntary on their part, asshat.
bye bye >>>
don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
