FACT: The average private-sector worker in Ohio pays 23% of their health care. And folks, there are people on here complaining about paying 15% of their health care.
Further this was posted on the YSU Students AGAINST A YSU Faculty strike page...
"the fact finder notes that under the parties’ current collective bargaining agreement, bargaining unit members received annual salary increases of 6.1% in 2009, 3.5% in 2010, and 3.8% in 2011". "The fact finder notes that a professor’s minimum salary in the 2008-2009 nine-month school year was $71,330; for the 2009-2010 nine-month school year the minimum moved to $73,470; and for the 2010-2011 NINE-MONTH school year the minimum moved to $75,674. These salaries are coming from a community where the median income is $26,000 (for 12 months not NINE) and a high unemployment rate. It is unfair to keep putting the burden on the students/parents. Over the last 3 years faculty received over 13% in raises in the middle of a RECESSION when the rest of use were taking cuts and making sacrifices!"
How can we afford these pay wages in this economy? We have people all over Wall Street saying we are heading back into a double-dip recession. We have great professors at YSU, BUT students cannot continue to fund their demands.
A three year sacrifice will do everyone wonders in the long-run.
And guess what folks, there is plenty of time before this narrows even more. This will be a nail-biter in November. Like in WI, the silent majority will come out while the Mainstream Media continues to portray a union/progressive resurgence across America.
Although SB5 was passed into law, because it is going to vote in November, the law essentially "exists" but is not enforced until the voters speak their mind.
