Are you a management stooge??? Let's take "our" hourly wages, company 401 contributions, company paid medical benefits, company paid LTD benefits, company paid life insurance benefits, etc, etc then divide them by "our" annual hours worked and then use that as a comparision.
The atrocity, a six figure salary for college educated individual, masters degrees and hundreds of credits for continuing education.......
Oh and last I checked, teachers actually have to do a "bit" more work than the 180 days a year the students are in the classroom, but hey you're the expert right............
Should have followed your own advice, Tonto. Did you do any research to actually refute the numbers cited for annual compensation and benefits? Or is hurling insults the limit of your ability to discuss actual facts? The fact is the manager of financial planning for Milwaukee public schools, Deborah Wegner, doesn't just make numbers up. You see the thing is, and stay with me here for a minute, pay close attention....benefits actually cost money. Yep, they sure do. Yeah, I was surprised, too. But sure enough that's how it works. So the three pension plans Wisconsin school teachers receive (a State Pension, a Teachers' Supplemental Pension, a Classified Pension), their health care plan, their retirement health care plan, well, they all cost money.
So saying they don't, and then making some straw man argument about comparing them to airline wages (?) doesn't make that fact go away.
