This article has incomplete reporting. You need to also address the people milking the 99 weeks of unemployment. I have a friend who has turned down offers because he can make nearly the same amount sitting on his rear end for another 30 weeks. This practice is very widespread, the extended unemployment is a disincentive to return to the workforce, and the longer a person is out of the work habit, the harder it is to reenter. This picture you paint is one-sided.
I am not seeing this as quite the victory it may appear to the university. This in fact may be the faculty playing the best hand they have. As it stands, they are working under the terms of the old contract, which only has the 1.5% health co-pay. There is NO incentive for them to move to a concessionary contract. I think they will drag this out, negotiating just enough to keep them working under the old deal. Let's see how long it takes the administration to realize the union is stalling them.
I'm looking forward to these folks showing up at my house in their door-to-door canvass. I'll just refer them to my 48 year old RETIRED neighbor a couple of doors up, sauntering around with his hands in his pockets, nothing to do. How do they expect me to support a system where I am paying for his retirement and gold-plated health care for longer than I will be alive?
No they don't. Coming off a contract that awarded ridiculous increases during the great recession, not to mention the multipliers, escalators, gold-plated health care plan, low classroom hours, free parking, and other perks and bennies, it's time they enter the real world. Hope the admin holds firm, parents and students working several jobs to pay tuition going up twice as fast as their paychecks are fed up.
Why such scant coverage of the plane crash? No pictures? That plane cost well over a million bucks, and it is totaled. Wouldn't an accident of that degree be worthy of more information? Poor editorial judgement. People want to see picture(s) in a story like this.
I have camped in this campground several times! In 1972 for a couple of nights, and again in 1994 for a couple of nights. Definitely bear country. You make a mistake and leave food out, you're asking for trouble.
How will Dem chairman top Chamber chief?
Maybe the Obama administration has heard of Betras.
