Wage freezes and paying a portion of your health care coverage are common in the private sector. NJEA needs to realize that the status quo is not an option. I am attending my local school board meeting this week to weigh in on cuts to our local district. Rumors are that many teachers are slated to be cut. Administrators need to take their fair share of the pain too and i am not sure that is happening. Another welcome rumor is that many of the teachers may be saved because the local bargaining unit of NJEA has agreed to a wage freeze. that would indeed be welcomed news. Perhaps the local units will help to transform and inform the larger NJEA. If it is all about the kids then contributing to health care benefits and accepting a wage freeze should be a no brainer..
