We actually last had a raise in 07. Apparently the last one before that must have been 21 years ago.

Let me ask you this, how do you propose your brethren in Louisiana go about getting higher wages? It's obvious you don't agree with how those in the four chapters went about it. What makes you think that your state association will give you a raise given their history? I could understand not giving a raise with how the economy currently is, but your state association has shown to be content even during times of good economic health.
There's no way I should be able to make more for one JV game than a three man varsity game. Someone there has dropped the ball big time.

As far as how the four chapters handled it, no I certainly don't agree with it. In the first place it was doomed to fail, if they thought they would get a pay raise signed now, because of the limited support given the walkout, even among the officials. Mainly, this is unacceptable because it fails to live up to an agreement which was signed by both sides. A local principal told me there is actually a signed contract between school and association. He couldn't tell me exactly what it says, because he never actually reads it, just signs it. The piece of paper is not the important part to me. I am a part of a group which has promised to do a job, so I intend to do my part. Expanding our normal area to cover games deserted by others is not quite as easy to justify, but I see the principle as the same, mainly because the schools affected by the limited area have no power to make changes on their own, even if they are inclined to do so. No one commented on my truck driving analogy. Quote:
I don't see the difference in this and our situation. If there is one, perhaps someone could explain. If a trucker dumps a load for one of you, let me know, I'll come get it if necessary, even if that would be considered stabbing the trucker in the back who dumped it there.

And the back stabbing analogy is right on too imo. |

So you'd kiss up to the trucker who dumped your stuff and allow only him to go back and pick it up? Seriously?

Are your officials/associations already contracted for the Play Offs? Because, sitting those out would DEF. be a big bargaining chip!

I've suggested that officials pay raises in Oregon (statewide payscale) should be tied to teacher pay raises....same percent for both. The question arises about what the teacher pay is since each district has a different scale but it shouldn't be hard to come up with an average percentage raise for all teachers in the state. It will probably never happen as they want to be able to cut/freeze our pay at will even when they get a raise just so they can save a few bucks....as long as they get theirs.
