That's true, but there have been a lot of districts that were not able to come to an agreement. In this case, the CBA continues for one year. That is what I was referring to.

I think it is interesting that Centerville Schools agreed to a 3 years CBA last night. It included no pay raise, but the agreement could be "opened up" for the last year. The interesting thing is the CBA included an agreement that there will be no reducation in force. That's a pretty gutsy move by the school board not knowing what the state funding is going to look like.

If we don't use all of them, we get them paid off at the end of the year.

It's all wonderful to have your 15 sick days, but I believe benefits like those are not common in the private sector. Add in that we have to spread our 7 days over 12 months, not 9-10.

Yeah, your company is sticking it up your a** hard, I definitely blame the unions for your inability to stick up for yourself. We should make everyone else pay for your lack of bargaining power.


I just re-read the book about andersonville prison, and it's hilarious how much the poor starving prisoners there resemble modern workers. Everyone starving to death, and still fighting amongst themselves for moldy bread and a half pint of peas infested with worms.

By the way, since people decided to 'go there' with the whole "public workers get so much stuff" bullcrap, how about some facts.

After you control for education and age, public workers have a 3.7% wage PENALTY compared to their private counterparts. That's right, they're paid less, and these are the people who
1. Protect law and order
2. Fight fires
3. Teach our children and build our future.

And we're punishing them further now.

CBS News poll: Most Americans don't want to strip healthcare law of its funding - Los Angeles Times

Extending the Bush Tax cuts for 2 years while adding more tax cuts for businesses and lower/middle class? Passing a stimulus that was 36% tax cuts?

YEAH THOSE CRAZY WASHINGTON LIBERALS! THEYRE RUINING EVERYTHING WITH THEIR RADICAL "DOING WHAT THE MAJORITY OF AMERICA WANTS" AGENDA!!!
Thank goodness we have the Tea Party. Without them we would have a single payer system, income taxes would have risen and we would have cap and trade.

The Tea Party has been very successful in stopping the far-left radical agenda of the Obama Adminstration.

LOLs. After you control for education and age and time in the workforce blacks and whites and males and females all get paid the same. Doesn't stop the left from ignoring said controls and using the race/gender card to take more control of the private sector and get elected.

I find it interesting the lefties are now using control measures when it supports what they want it to.

That's a good point.

Democrats took in KKK member Robert Byrd

Democrats took in KKK memeber David Duke

Democrats took in Westboro Baptist Church preacher Fred Phelps.

Good job Democrats.

sorry, but you may be wrong about that, Neilsen has been tracking "outside the home" TV viewing since 2007.

"The home is still the most popular place to watch television, and will remain so for the foreseeable future... but a meaningful amount of television viewing does occur elsewhere, such as at work, in bars and restaurants, at airports and hotels. In February 2007, Nielsen's National ratings will, for the first time, go beyond the home and include the viewing of students who are part of the National sample but who live away at college."

Anything you want to add to the discussion on SB5 or are you content to try to troll and make yourself look uneducated?
