29. Carlsbad teachers could see 20 percent pay cut. Much more below.

Gov. Brian Sandoval has shown "contempt" for public school teachers by proposing to cut their pay by 12 percent to 20 percent, the state teachers union leader said Thursday. Carlsbad- http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2011/Oct/06/carlsbad-teachers-could-see-20-percent-pay-cut/

In the same week Secretary of Education Arne Duncan proposed that teachers' starting salaries should be $60,000 a year, Michigan teachers accepted unprecedented pay cuts. Instead of engineer-equitable pay, it seems that waitress pay may be par.

Across the state, Michigan teachers got significantly less than they bargained for in this contract. The cuts came in wage freezes, two-tier wage scales, increased health care and benefit costs and increased payments to pension plans. Just how much is an "unprecedented" pay cut? Enough that some teachers may not be able to make mortgage payments. Families in which both parents are educators could lose about $30,000 next year.

Teacher Pay Cuts Top 20% for Many


The teachers getting pay cuts are those in Republican controlled states or districts. If you live in a blue state, education is valued, and teachers are generally treated with respect.
