Strike is over

[luckyval]

Wow - way to lose perspective guys (the board, not you).

I'm sorry it ended like that.

[bananapancakes]

I'm glad the strike is over but I'm so so sorry about the rest of it. I hope your first day back is a good one!

[ginger]

Well...SHit.

[cville]

I'm glad it's over, but it's so dickish of them to screw you all like that.

[nightandday]

I'm glad the strike is over, but sad that the outcomes weren't more favorable to you and the students. Best of luck this year to you and your H.

[wino]

Sorry to hear. Good luck in the future job hunt.

[isabel]

Wow, what a shitty outcome. I'm really sorry it wasn't a better result.

[Deleted]

Wow. Sorry.

[cinnamoncox]

I'm glad the strike is over, but I'm sorry it ended this way.

[elleblue]

I was all ready to celebrate with you over the strike being over but man, those are some harsh terms. 

[Deleted]

Oh I'm sorry. I wouldn't want to work for them either.

[littlepeanut]

The worst. I'm sorry.   We are going into a contract year this year.  I'm nervous. 

[cbwm1]

this sucks, i'm sorry.

[thatgirl2478]

Wow - rough concessions! Hope you can both find new jobs.

[Yankees21]

I'm so sorry it turned out that way, I've been hoping there would be a favorable resolution for you

[Monica Geller]

I'm glad it's over but WOW to he board. That sucks.

[Deleted]

What a crappy situation. I'm sorry

[lurknomore]

I'm sorry this happened. My mom has been thru a couple of strikes and they've always docked them for the time. They have has "school" by putting kids in the gym and showing movies. It sucks for everyone. I'm sorry.

[daisycat]

I'm glad it's finally over, but sorry for how it turned out.

Also...isn't the number of school days mandated by the state? How can they do that?

They are. They are taking the penalty because they are saving boatloads of money with not paying salary.

Wtf. I hope parents are up in arms over this. Glad it's over, but I don't blame you one bit for looking at other jobs. That's seriously messed up

[W.T.Faulkner]

Damn, I hate school boards sometimes.

[panbitch]

What dicks! I'm sorry

[RoxMonster]

Such a sucky situation Sorry it had to end this way.

[prettyinpink]

I am so sorry. Ugh that's awful. It sort of makes me grateful to work at a charter. I hope you both find great jobs come the spring.
