Months later and you've yet to respond to my question.
..the link clearly showed, no bonuses of any sort, simply annual rate and overtime
You've yet to respond.
How's that for reading comprehension?
Then again, what's expected from someone who tried to justify a toll collector's excessive wage by claiming the job, a "mentally exhausting task."
I can't imagine how you get through the task of grocery shopping.

Because I SAID I was done with you. You can't read, and are extremely frustrating to those of us who can.

You've yet to respond. Did you ever stop and think that maybe the ARE no bonuses? Why are you such a retard? Please ... step AWAY from the keyboard.

The first sentence from OP's post of which you responded to read "Auditors say the New Jersey Turnpike Authority wasted $43 million on unneeded perks and bonuses."
The second sentence read "In one case, an employee with a base salary of $73,469 earned $321,985 when all payouts and bonuses were included."

Oh yeah, and if the school board disagrees with the contract, then the teachers union sends it into binding arbitration, by law again, where then the school board is forced to accept the conditions when it comes back. This is all possible because of laws that were written and passed by legislators smoothed over by union contributions.
This is what happened in Wisconsin, people said enough is enough.
You have some of the facts & have made your own scenario.
Teachers voted to bring in the union because schools used to pay teachers a wage that was too low to live on without a 2nd job, year round. The schools are what is called closed shops. When you are hired you then join the union. Employees don't join unions for no reason.
The teachers salaries & benefits are not driving up your property taxes. The Abbott districts are to blame for that.
I really can't understand this line of reasoning. Why do you think they should be opening their books to the public?
Why shouldn't they?
At the end of the day, NJ tax payers FUND the NJEA. You can twist it however you want to, it's just a fact. And it will remain a fact until public school teachers don't have to pay the NJEA for their "protection" from reality.

I'm not playing any games. I think I am being very clear.
You're very clear in how obtuse you want to remain and not acknowledge facts that have been more than spelled out for you, over and over again.
Facts are facts.
NJ tax payers fund NJ teacher salaries. Fact. NJ teachers are forced to pay dues to their protection agency. Fact. The protection agency spends $7M on advertising. Fact. Those who fund the teachers who in turn fund the protection agency have been OVER said protection agency's tactics for a lot longer than CC has been in office. Fact.
Fact is that teachers don't need "protection". Fact is that teachers need to join the rest of non-public unionized /non-babied society and prove they deserve their jobs like the rest.
Fact is that teachers don't understand how much more beneficial negotiating their own individual contracts would be...for them...and how much more support they'd have.
