Yes folks, believe it or not the NFT has once again raised the stakes in this high tension game of contract negotiations. Perpetrating a work-to-contract action against your children is no longer enough, so now Neshaminy's teachers are depriving children of their education by instituting a strike effective on Monday.
Make no mistake about it, this job action is aimed directly at YOU! But now is an opportunity for this community to draw a line in the sand. We can no longer remain quiet while the school board fights the battle to save our children's educational programs. It's time to stand up and vocally support our school board.
The school board is asking community members to call the NFT headquarters at 215-547-2001 demanding they end this strike immediately, and settle on an affordable contract.
Here is an announcement that was posted on the school board's website just a short time ago . . .
The Nesaminy Federation of Teachers (NFT) announced today that our teachers will be striking effective Monday, January 9th.
Please visit the school district website at http://www.neshaminy.k12.pa.us for important updates.
We urge every member of our community to contact NFT Headquarters at 215-547-2001 and demand that teachers immediately end this job action aimed at our children, and return to the bargaining table ready to negotiate an affordable contract.

What do we 'the people' have to fight back against this? In the end, a group on the board will accept or come to some sort of agreement. Our taxes will go up, the teachers will be happy, for a little while. Then they will do it again. Meanwhile we 'the people' are scrambling to find child care or forking out money to Neshaminy Kids club at a rate of $200/week for two children. The teacher should be forced as a part of the contract to forfeit pay/sick time to cover the costs of the people of the community. Enough said.
