oh dear, oh my
Well, here we go again, more drama at school. I'll have more time to post tomorrow, but the long and the short is that the staff of the district went on a sick-out Monday and Tuesday, came to work on Wednesday, and now have decided that they are going to strike starting tomorrow morning. I went to school Monday and Tuesday because I didn't have the sick days and because I didn't agree that they should be doing this now. It's a long story that I'll update later, but I think it's the wrong time and the wrong strategy. So, now I have to decide if I'm going to cross the picket line or join the picket line or just stay home. Last time there was a strike, some of the teachers who crossed the line had stuff done to their car (tires slashed, etc.) so that's one thing to think about. On the other hand, there's no proof that what they are striking for is real. Supposedly the state appropriated a 3.5% cost of living increase for all teachers and staff. We haven't received that raise. If it's true, then the district is in error, but if it isn't true, then we're doing all this for no reason.
So I guess my plan of action is to take tomorrow off and do some research about this supposed raise. If I find out that we have a right to strike, then I'll stay out of school. I don't think I can bring myself to picket. I just don't agree with striking now, when it's going to affect the kids so negatively. If I find out that we don't have a right to strike then I'll be going in to school. Anywho, lots of calls to make tomorrow. More updates tomorrow. G'night.
