If any NYS school district has to reduce school teachers due to budget cuts, seniority order will stay in effect. As much as DeBlasio and Cuomo would like to pit union against union in regard to pay/retro pay, the line in the sand is drawn when it comes to seniority. Seniority is the backbone of the civil service trade and if it is eliminated, the entire blue collar/pink collar workforce will be gone. That ain't happening any time soon in my opinion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-15388034718821565922014-06-18T20:59:02.629-04:002014-06-18T20:59:02.629-04:00This is starting to upset me.

Let me just say it -again- to make myself feel better ...<br />...the rule is NOT 18 months. It's 2 years. The judge claimed it was 18 months in his decision because the district had to make a March 15 deadline. His claim in erroneous (as his decision) and to accept it is to accept part of the premise of his erroneous decision. <br />In fact, his claim is a lot like the Yellow Cake Uranium claim made by another republican jackwad back in 2003. It is part of their big lie and it should not be accepted by critical, intelligent people. <br />Lots of other stuff I'd like to comment on this piece, but I should probably save it for a separate comment. You may read it fo ryoursel fon page 9 of the decision. http://studentsmatter.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Tenative-Decision.pdf<br /><br />The fact that Jessica Bakeman apparently didn't read it -and she gets paid to write about this stuff- is infuriating.<br /><br />18 months.

Therefore, the vast majority of unfortunate children will be taught by teachers not receiving merit pay. To rectify this situation, all of the rest of the teachers will be replaced by novices whose evaluations are as of yet unknown. Someone please help me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
