Thank You, E.P. Union Mole For Passing This Along
Here is a copy of what the East Providence Education Association has been sending out to the 500 teachers affected by the 5% raise roleback and 20% health insurance co-share imposed on them by the East Providence School Committee, in a last ditch effort to avoid widespread layoffs, school closings, and much worse.
Gee, there’s nothing in this message about sacrificing a little to help the city avoid outright bankruptcy.
Oh right, it’s only about them.
The East Providence teachers are defending all of our rights in their fight not to allow the school committee and city to unilaterally roll back their wages and impose co-share amounts. East Providence teachers will be attending the school committee meeting Tuesday evening at East Providence City Hall (7:30 PM) and can use your support. Local President, Val Lawson, and the entire local union are staying united and fighting for all of us.
Come and show your solidarity! Stand up for Collective Bargaining!
I will confirm the time via email before the EP meeting next week.
