We negotiated in good faith, and both the BOE and the teacher's union agreed to it.

If that’s how you feel, be prepared to see more of your coworkers lose their jobs. We are in a depression. NJ taxpayers just don’t have the money to keep paying. I, like many people, haven’t gotten a raise in 2+ years. Actually, my income dropped a few points last year. Why are members of the NJEA so special that they deserve to be unaffected by the downturn in the economy?
