[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question- if teachers want a union why not join dcps? Our union doesn’t make things all butterflies & unicorns but it gives us due process for firing, collective bargaining, and a pension. I wouldn’t trade that for anything. [/quote]

All of those things sound good but having a pension seems unreasonable. Very few employers offer a pension most of us are lucky to have a matching 401k or the Non-Profit equivalent. [/quote]

More should offer pensions. The move to 401k’s has been a dismal failure for workers. [/quote]

^this. Just because EMPLOYERS have chosen to move to 401ks doesn’t mean it’s a better deal for employees. Which one are you? Or are you just mad that some people get something you don’t? Getting a full pension takes a really long time. My hat’s off to anyone who sticks it out that long, especially in DCPS.

Anyway I really doubt funding a pension is the top priority for MV teachers. I’d guess wages and working conditions are at the top.[/quote]
