Comments on: Teachers say ‘Yes’ to contract with furloughs http://www.ibabuzz.com/onassignment/2011/04/01/teachers-say-yes-to-contract-with-furloughs/ Thu, 20 Jun 2013 06:11:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Milan Moravec http://www.ibabuzz.com/onassignment/2011/04/01/teachers-say-yes-to-contract-with-furloughs/comment-page-1/#comment-6378 Milan Moravec Sun, 31 Jul 2011 04:42:00 +0000 http://www.ibabuzz.com/onassignment/?p=2962#comment-6378 University of California Berkeley tuition, fee increases are an insult. Californians face mortgage defaults, 12% unemployment, pay reductions, loss of unemployment benefits. No layoff of UC Chancellors, Faculty during greatest recession of modern times. Yudof curb wages, benefits for sons and daughters of Californians! If wages better elsewhere, chancellors, vice chancellors, tenured, non tenured faculty, UCOP apply for the positions. If wages are what commit employees to UC, leave for better paying position.
UC wages must reflect California’s ability to pay, not what others are paid. There is no good reason to raise UC tuition, fees when wage concessions are available.
The sky will not fall on UC.
‘Pitch in’ UC President, Faculty, Chancellors, Vice Chancellors, UCOP:
No furloughs
18 percent reduction in UCOP salaries & $50 million cut.
18 percent prune of campus chancellors’, vice chancellors’ salaries.
15 percent trim of tenured faculty salaries, increased teaching load
10 percent decrease in non-tenured faculty salaries, as well as increase research, teaching load
100% elimination of all Academic Senate, Academic Council costs, wages.

(17,000 UC paid employees earn more than $100,000)

However, rose bushes always bloom after pruning.

UC Board of Regents Chair Sherry Lansing can bridge the public trust gap with reassurances that UC salaries reflect depressed wages in California. The sky will not fall on UC

How much did Steven Lawrence sacrifice to balance the budget? How many consultants, coaches, central office personnel were cut? Shame on the school board for approving furloughs. Now MDUSD will never measure up to other districts. Students won’t get into colleges, when other students have a full week more per year. Teacher morale is suffering already. Teachers are taking side jobs to help feed their families and can’t sacrifice their personal time anymore. You can’t blame them for feeling cheated when they are not the cause of MDUSD’s budget shortfalls. MDUSD’s careless spending on lawyers, administrators, benchmark testing and now a huge solar project. Thank you teachers and students for footing the bill. MDUSD doesn’t care about you!

The 2010-11 negotiated amounts haven’t been changed to show what was actually negotiated. 10-N6 should be reduced to reflect 3 calendar days instead of 7; 10-N11a should be taken off the list, since teachers didn’t agree to eliminate prep periods; and 10-N15 should be reduced, since current CSEA employees didn’t agree to prorated benefits.

The “categorical” money was intentionally left out.

Will the new CNWS residents and businesses pay MDUSD bonds, and MDUSD parcel tax if there is one? Or will the rest of us be paying more than our share for all their shining new state-of-art schools?
