From today's Courier Times . . .
Several members of Neshaminy's support staff were once again picketing outside Tuesday night's school board meeting at Maple Point Middle School in Middletown.
The bus drivers, custodians and cafeteria workers continue to protest the district's consideration of bids on custodial, transportation, maintenance and food services. Union President Mindy Anderson had no comment on Tuesday night's protest.
Mirroring what the board offered the teachers, the board is asking the support staff to contribute from 15 percent to 17 percent to the current plan over three years, or change the plan and pay 10 percent to 12 percent. The district also is offering a 3 percent annual salary increase over three years, board President Ritchie Webb previously said. The support staff counter-offered, saying they'd forgo a salary increase this year if they don't have to contribute to their health care premiums. They said they'd then contribute to their health care in increments up to 5 percent over five years. They also asked for 3 percent, 3 1/2 percent and 4 percent salary increases over five years, according to district officials.

I can tell you right now there is no way part timers(who do not get healthcare) are going to go for no increase for the first year.There are more part timers than full timers and there is NO WAY we will vote for that.
"Mirroring what the board offered the teachers, the board is asking the support staff to contribute from 15 percent to 17 percent to the current plan over three years, or change the plan and pay 10 percent to 12 percent."
I thought I was up on things, but this is the first I've read of a Board 10%-12% offer for a different plan. Was this also offered to the teachers? If so, when? Or does "mirroring ... teachers" apply only to the 15%-17% part?
This is an offer to the support staff only. Remember the teachers under their extraordinary union leadership are not negotiating since the board, to their credit, is refusing to take healthcare contribution off the table. Boyd wnats the community to think it is the board that is why she will not discuss it and keeps accusing the board of not coming to table.
She should know by now that everyone is on to this and her absurd demands.
William I really hope the new board has the courage to hold out for the wishes of the community to stop the madmess with these Unions. Frank will be very much missed in this regard and I think Spitz was good as part of the contract team. We need board members that are not intimidated.
