Should Teachers Get A Salary Increase? - Page 3

Fair enough. No need for coal raking. It's your opinion and it's a reasonable one. I had to wait 2 years before becoming eligible to get on the insurance plan. It was the first time that I was without insurance in all of my years working. In other places once you start working you are automatically on the plan.
I personally would like to get vat off of car purchases or allowances to purchase material to use for the students, or insurance coverage for my son, none of which exist at the moment.

Increase Salary Get Teachers Should

I am interested to know how far Teachers are willing to go in order to get their money. Since the start of school children have already missed many days.

So far the Ministry of Education does not seem to be letting up or giving in.

It's amazing. Parents keep children home because an Auntie came from "away", or because the parents are travelling and decided ta take their children, or for less important reasons.
Do parents understand the importance of having motivated teacher teach their children.
Teachers have been granted 14 casual days and 14 sick days all in accordance with industrial relations policy. Contrary to popular opinion, we do NOT take all of these days all of the time.
If teachers strike and let parents know in advance, parents can make allowances and keep children home.

My question for anyone who has a problem, if the act of asking for an increase in accordance with the last 2 negotiating periods is not successful (which means that the CPO is NOT negotiating in good faith), what options are available?
