Its about time someone stood up to thse thugs, the average teaching salary is now 55,000 a year in new jersey and they get an automatic 4.9% per year raise. On top of that they dont have to pay anything for full medical and dental coverage, and can hold onto these benefits for life, and retire after 25 years of work.
If you were to calculate full medical and dental on a family of four at roughly 15k a year, which is low balling it, that would put an average teachers salary at about 70k per year, when you combine that with their retirement benefits after 25 years, you would have to earn atleast 150k a year in the private sector to earn what a teacher is making. In order to make 150k a year in the private sector you can bet your ass you also would not be only working 8 months of the year.
The teachers union in new jersey could have taken a 1 year pay freese and paid 1.5% of their salary to their medical coverage, this would have saved the state 700 million, and saved virtually every single teachers job, instead the thugs in the union rejected it and now are facing massive layoffs. These people obviously have no concern for the teachers, or the children, it is only about helping themselves, and raping taxpayers at the same time, for far to long we have allowed teaching unions to use our kids as a pawn in what could only be compared to a hostage negotiation by teachers.
