[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So to those who would say, “You knew the pay when you took the job” I would say I also knew the benefits. When those benefits are being reduced will you be the first to stand up and say, “Hey! You can’t cut those teachers’ benefits! They knew what they were getting when they took the job!”? [/quote]

What are my benefits that are being reduced? I still have health insurance, sick days and personal days.  My health insurance costs are more now but it’s because I carry the family plan and health insurance costs have risen everywhere. [/quote]

In FCPS two teacher households still pay a reduced rate for healthcare premiums but the discount was greatly reduced a few years ago. To retire with full VRS benefits the years service plus age used to have to equal 80. Its now 90. New employees now have a hybrid plan instead of a full defined benefit plan. Retirement is now based on the highest average five years instead of three and COLAs have been reduced.

I could probably think of other examples.[/quote]
