The negotiation process has been manageable up to this point. Now that we are discussing salaries and benefits we are digging in our heals and tempers are beginning to show. One thing I noticed was the management team came from a place of financial stability for the district. The union side talked about touchy feely things like; teachers doing a good job, years of commitment, validating teachers with salary. I am interested in seeing how ending negotiations end up. I want to hear the union's side of justifiying their salary demands based on something other than warm fuzzies.
