The slide title: 2006-2014 CPI Inflation Rates compares the national
inflation rate to Californias inflation rate. If you compare the salary of teachers of
Rialto Unified School District and the salary of teachers at Fontana Unified School
District, you will see that Rialto teachers salaries have kept up with inflation, but
the salary of teachers at Fontana have not!!!!!!!!!!! We have teachers working
two jobs to maintain their families because our union has not been able to
negotiate a decent salary!!!!!!!!!!!!
(For this section, see the salary schedule for Fontana Unified School District and
Rialto Unified School District). A beginning teacher at Rialto makes about $48,296,
and pays no out of pocket in benefits and a beginning teacher at Fontana makes
$42,339. There is a difference of 5,957 (You are losing money every year). Think
about how $5,957 adds up overtime. This money can send your children to college,
you can save for a down payment on a house, or you can put it into a retirement
account. Compare the salaries of Rialto Unified School District and Fontana Unified
School District.
Another issue with our union is that they do not have channels of
communication. If you are not an elected union member (a building rep. for
example), you are not allowed to speak. When teachers show up to discuss issues,
the president shuts them down by arguing that they cannot speak because they are
not elected members. This violates the union rules (bylaws), and freedom of
speech. This needs to change immediately.
There are reports that the union does not file grievances on time, and so
teachers lose their opportunity to defend themselves. This situation needs to stop.
I strongly believe in the right of workers to organize, but sadly our union
leadership is too incompetent. Teachers wake up!!!!
