Educators do not get paid on strike.
They cannot use their PTO.
They cannot use their sick days.
It is not a vacation.
It is a sacrifice.
No one wants to strike.
Settle the contract now.
Call and email your superintendent and school board.
To all the educators preparing to strike: I'm with you through rain, snow, and below 0 temps. I've got your back in the classroom and at the bargaining table. @MFT59@SPFE28@EducationMN hold strong.
You deserve every cent and every resource you're asking for.
Major “pizza party” vibes here. This is a bunch of one-time promises that still don’t amount to much and kick the inflation can further down the line.
Personally, I’m gonna hold the line for EAs. They deserve much more than nickels and dimes.
.@SPPS_News has a long record of surpluses and increasing ☔️ day funds. Since 2018, the general fund has grown to 128.2 mil from 93.8 mil. This is more than what we need to settle the contract and avoid a strike! @ZukiEllis @UriahSTP @hallaforspps@ChauntyllAllen@jess4STPschools
SPPS and SPFE are only $7.6 million apart on educator compensation. That’s only 1.2% of the district’s payroll over two years. @SPPS_News can afford to give educators a reasonable raise! @ZukiEllis @UriahSTP @hallaforspps@ChauntyllAllen@jess4STPschools
Our education assistants are the backbones of our schools. And they are definitely worth more than a raise that’s pocket change. @SPPS_News is offering them a 40-cent increase over the next two years. @ZukiEllis @UriahSTP @hallaforspps@ChauntyllAllen@jess4STPschools
