[QUOTE="LombardiChick, post: 357771, member: 3669"] Aren't you kind of comparing apples to oranges? Your situation, because you are non-union, rings very true to me. I have a friend - not a teacher, not a union member - who works at a state college here who is continually getting screwed because when cuts are made, it is the non-union employees that must sacrifice, while the union members enjoy their raises. He keeps the job because jobs are hard to find right now, but he took about a $20K paycut to work there. (Yes, he can leave, and someday I'm sure he will.) As for Wisconsin teachers, I looked up a few salaries in public records this past week, including the salary of someone I know personally. Taking into consideration how few days they actually work, they seem to me to be doing just fine. The administrator of the tiny school district I grew up in makes over $100K before his benefits package is factored in. It's just hard for a lot of us to feel sorry for these people, given the small sacrifice the governor is asking of them. (See the cartoon above.) [/QUOTE]
