OK,a comparison....How many people commute to NYC?
Would you be compassionate to subway workers if they decided to have a "job action" and slow everybody down getting to work?...For the sake of safety? Job actions don't work. Especially in this economy. This does not have to do with money anymore. It's about bullies. Yes, it might be "one or two more tankfulls of gas" for a family to pay for more for the teachers. But in this economy, tell that to the family who is on unemployment. One day suit and tie and the next day working in a retail store 70 hrs a week. Teachers, you "should of played the game". You probably would of gotten what you wanted. Ask your Union president what's in it for him to do this instead of taking the "high road" and probably getting the respect of the community. Even if you "win", you really won't. Opinions have been made. I don't really blame the teachers because this would not of happened without the go ahead from your Union. Think what you want, but the intrinsic value of your jobs decreases everyday because of this. Just like people that are not protected in their job and sweat out Fridays, whether that layoff is coming or not, if you don't like the place you work or feel you're worth more, get your resume together and get a job elsewhere. Stop screwing around with my town and kids.
Anyone have stats on how many people in POB are on Unemployment Insurance and what's the average income for residents of POB ?

as a union member I would be compassionate towards subway workers because I would realize that they are hard working people who are standing up for what they believe is right. as to your assertion that "this is not about money, its about bullies" I couldn't agree more, but its the people on this blog who are the bullies because they are doing nothing but posting half truths and baseless accusations that they should be ashamed of. You say that teachers should "of" played the game when the word you were looking for was "have" but what game are you talking about? I don't consider any of this a "game". And how would teachers have gotten what they asked for if the board refuses to even talk with them? If the good people of this district continue with this unjust attack on the people who are educating thier children then the values of our homes will drop to unacceptable levels because no one will want to buy here because of the caustic atmosphere that parents in this supposedly well informed district are creating towards education. If competative wages are not offered to teachers then we will all suffer.
