And, I'm sure the governor isn't taking a pay freeze, or any of the people in his office. Also, the state employees that opened their contracts to take furlough days (days without pay) did so with the agreement that they would receive an 11% increase in salary next year. That's a helluva lot bigger increase than I'll ever see as a teacher.

If you cant bend, then expect layoffs. The NJEA is going down the same path as the UAW. You have negotiated yourselves right out of jobs.
