“U. S. Labor productivity has increased continuously since the 1950’s yet real wages for workers have decreased steadily since 1973. How can labor unions reverse this trend and put wages and benefits back in line with productivity and profits?”
Educator Healthcare costs are
being proposed to rise up to 500%! We must join together to
fight proposed changes that will significantly affect the quality of
education for Alabama children as well as the future of the educational
profession. Education healthcare and retirement are the focus of drastic
changes that will be detrimental to the employees, in turn resulting in
losing quality teachers. For these reasons, we call on you to prevent the
PEEHIP and TSA Boards from making these proposed changes without consulting
those whom it affects. Please
