Pennsylvania School Board and Union negotiations
School boards in the state of Pennsylvania are required to negotiate contracts with the local union that represents their districts' teachers. Pennsylvania Act 88 (1992) established the basic legal framework for collective bargaining in public education. Matters subject to bargaining include wages, hours, "other terms and conditions of employment," and the process by which disagreements on these issues will be resolved. School boards are not, however, required to negotiate "matters of inherent managerial policy." Examples include programs or course offerings, the overall district budget, use of technology, organizational structure, decisions on which individuals are hired and selection of supervisors. School district contracts typically remain in effect for 3-5 years. Contracts of seven years are also common.

Legislation, process, time lines
Claims & counter claims
Both school boards and teacher unions claim that their main goal is to provide, or maintain, a high-quality, affordable educational program. Most claims and counter-claims are variations on two themes.
Claims and counter-claims about compensation and program quality
In general boards and unions tend to agree on two premises:
- Educational quality is depends largely on good teachers.
- Attracting and retaining good teachers requires competitive compensation.
Disagreements tend to hinge on whether compensation is in fact competitive. (Union claim in parentheses.)
- The compensation levels proposed by the board are competitive/(are not) competitive.
- Therefore, in order to maintain a high-quality education program, the district need not increase/ (needs to increase) its proposed offer.
Appeals to public opinion on educational quality issues
Because of the differences between public and private employers, collective bargaining in the public sector resembles lobbying more than it resembles labor-management negotiations in the private sector. Like any private organization engaged in lobbying, a teacher union can be expected to seek concessions from public officials with the minimum degree of transparency required by law -- i.e., not to draw taxpayers' attention to the public cost of whatever private benefit is being sought. Whenever possible teacher unions and school boards hoping to maintain tranquil working relations with local union personnel emphasize only points that everyone can accept: that good teachers are vitally important and that they should be well paid, both as a matter of "fairness" and to enable the district to compete in the market for teaching talent. When agreements are reached, especially "early bird" agreements, public statements by boards and unions tend to stress these points -- and no others.
Disagreement is always possible, however, about whether a proposed compensation package is in fact competitive.
- Unions often claim that their members are poorly paid compared to teachers in other districts. Comparisons may focus on districts immediately adjacent, those within a larger jurisdiction (county or Intermediate Unit), or if the negotiating union's members are already better paid than those nearby districts of comparable size elsewhere in the state. A board challenging these claims must decide whether the comparisons are relevant and whether they are accurate. This can be based on whether comparisons are taken from the same school year; whether they take into account benefits, etc.
- Other possible board counter-claims may include the following: the district has no difficulty in hiring teachers; it hires from different geographical areas than the districts with which it is being compared (i.e., does not really compete with them); it has extremely low turnover rates. All of these assertions are questions of fact whose plausibility depends on empirical data.
- Boards may also offer a counter-claim that teacher compensation is substantially higher than private-sector levels. Supporting this position will require relevant comparisons (e.g., with nurses in area hospitals) and adjustment for factors like days worked per year, benefit levels, job security, etc. The Bureau of Labor Statistics offers some relevant data. Local data is of course more pertinent but may be difficult to compile.[1]
- A board may also claim that higher compensation for teachers will force cuts elsewhere in a budget, thus harming the district's educational program. (See "affordability" issues below.)
Claims and counter-claims about contract affordability
Expressed as a syllogism, "affordability" goes something like this. (Union position in parentheses.)
- Paying higher salaries and benefits will require additional revenue or cost-cutting measures.
- Raising additional revenue will require increasing taxes.
- Increasing taxes is either an undue burden on taxpayers or proposed cost-cutting measures are not realistic.
- Therefore, the proposed compensation package (is affordable)/is not affordable.
The first assertion is self-evident, unless the district expects a temporary windfall -- for example, from retirement by a number of highly paid teachers. The second (the necessity of raising taxes) may be either true or false. The third "undue burden" or "not realistically possible" can be evaluated by reference to data, but not conclusively proved.
In Pennsylvania about 60% of public school revenue is raised through local taxes, primarily property tax.[2] Tax rates are expressed in mills. A district may be able to raise additional revenue without raising tax rates because of increases in the value of a mill due to increases in the total value of real property (e.g., thanks to opening of a new shopping mall). By the same token, the value of a mill may decline (e.g., due to the loss of an existing industry).
Budget surplus argument
Unions may also claim that a board can afford a pay increase without a tax increase because of a recent budget surplus or large fund balance. This argument may be true but requires careful analysis. A budget surplus may be temporary (e.g., due to an unanticipated one-time grant) or almost an illusion (e.g., due to some change in state-mandated accounting procedures). A large fund balance does not necessarily represent a pool of spendable cash (e.g., may include noncollectable tax revenues that the district carries on its books as assets). At best, it is a non-recurring revenue source, available for no more than one budget.
Note that boards and unions may dispute whether various restricted accounts are actually needed. For example, if a board has shifted a large portion of a surplus in a "capital reserve" account earmarked for facilities maintenance, a union my claim that the board is "hiding money" that could be applied to teacher compensation without jeopardizing anything essential to district operations.
Tax increase argument
If a proposed contract seems certain to require a tax increase, board claims of an undue burden on taxpayers may be supportable by demographic data -- e.g., the percentage of taxpayers who are senior citizens on fixed income. A union counter-claim may allude to the district's tax effort, including comparisons with other districts' rates in equalized mills, which show tax rates as a percentage of the market value of real property, as distinct from its value as of the last time it was assessed by a county board.
Because of the passage of Pennsylvania Act 1 of 2006, boards may also claim that a proposed tax increase is not legally possible without submitting its budget to a back-end referendum. If voters reject the proposed increase, fulfilling the proposed contract would require cuts elsewhere in the budget -- damaging the district's educational program. As of 2009 Pennsylvania had almost no history of referenda of this kind, but unions are more likely to deny the necessity of a referendum than to assert that the proposed tax increase would actually be approved if a referendum were to be held.
Appeals to public opinion on affordability issues
Just as unions tend to enjoy a public relations advantage when the subject is the inherent importance of teachers, boards tend to enjoy an advantage when the subject is money. Therefore, unions tend to introduce affordability into a public relations campaign only under one or more of the following circumstances:
- The district has a very large recent budget surplus or a large fund balance.
- A high percentage of teachers are at or near retirement age, so that a district can rely on savings from attrition to lower costs for at least the near future.
- The board has recently approved some expense item unpopular with large segments of the public (e.g., artificial turf for an athletic field) that can be pointed to as evidence that the board has misplaced its financial priorities.
Boards are likely to claim that a proposed contract is unaffordable if they perceive the district to be facing real financial hardship (e.g., because of declining millage value or the alleged extravagance of a preceding board) or when they have specific alternative needs for funds (e.g., construction of a new school due to increased enrollments).
Non-financial contract issues
Wages and benefits (primarily healthcare and pensions) account for almost all of the direct dollar cost of any labor contract. However, contracts cover a wide range of other issues whose financial impacts are indirect, minimal or uncertain. Some, like contract duration, are inherent A partial list of such issues follows.
- Contract duration
- Teacher evaluations
- Grievance procedures
- Working conditions
- Fair share fees
- Union rights clauses, such as membership dues deduction and maintenance of membership
- Bonuses or other incentives based on factors other than seniority, including specialty-based pay or merit pay

The criticism was led by Mahathir Mohamad, who hand-picked Abdullah to be his successor in 2003, but who is now the prime minister's most vocal critic.
On Tuesday about 2,000 Umno members - including Mahathir and his son Mukhriz - gathered at a conference to analyse the unprecedented election losses suffered by the coalition party.
The meeting however turned into a free-for-all session after each member took the stage and began to bitterly criticise Abdullah.
"We cannot deny the truth when there is a cancer," said Mahathir, adding that Abdullah has lost touch with reality because he is surrounded by "yes men".
Mahathir, left, chose Abdullah to succeed him in 2003 [AFP]"I call on him to resign," said the former leader who was prime minister for 22 years before he stepped down amid calls for his resignation.
"Anyone else would have done so already, but he is shameless."
The open display of anger is a clear sign of a deep crisis within the ruling coalition, which is still reeling from its worst-ever election performance.
In the March 8 polls, the ruling coalition lost its long-standing two-thirds parliamentary majority to a loose opposition coalition.
Five state governments also fell to opposition control.
Echoing his father's sentiments, Mukhriz Mahathir, a senior Umno official, said: "We have reached a crossroads."
He said the election results were "not a wake up call but a slap in the face".
Mukhriz accused Abdullah of failing to control rampant corruption, nepotism and cronyism, in an apparent reference to his son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin, who is believed to wield enormous influence in the government.
"We have been told to keep silent ... I urge you to stand with me to seek the truth and find a resolution," he said, adding that it was vital for Umno's survival.

The translation facility for foreign language web pages is very useful. You get a basic rough translation by clicking it. My question is this. I might get permission to access the website of at least one society I belong to. If I typed up a page of foreign text, got permission to upload it to a society website, I assume or hope the Google translator would provide a basic translation into English. How do I upload text? For example, do I type it in WORD and then PDF it before uploading to the text area provided, or is it more complicated than that? My objective is to solve a long standing problem trying to understand Swedish, Danish and Icelandic articles. This might be a way round it.

Thank you Woolwell. The Google Translate was very good indeed when I tried it on two Icelandic articles. A few tweaks and reference to a dictionary was all that was needed to edit them. And I thought Google Translate only did the "main" languages like German, French etc. Many thanks for your help.

O.K. pholks, here is a long shot (no, it's not about jasper part II *sigh* ) We just had a few buildings built to expand our campus and one of the faculty has asked me if I could get some large (20 gallon?), NICE, flower pots to place next to the entrance doors in front of a few buildings.
Heres the deal, if some one had said flower pots to donate to the school "I" would be very greatful, in fact, I would give to this generous person a truckload of fine, finished compost for FREE (delivered within a ten mile radius)(also for free) and a hardy hand shake.
I am also sure I could get a tax write off recept (or some such) for this kind person for the value of the flower pots (if in new condition)

I have a question for you all. This is kinda a hypothetical situation, but the time to be making decisions is rapidly approaching and I'm having a dilemma. I'd post this on the pg boards, but you all have kids and have already made your choices about maternity leave and the return to work, so my question is this:
I just don't know what to do about my maternity leave if I do get pregnant this summer. I don't know if I want to return to work afterwards. I have a few friends who think it's unethical to use my maternity leave if I'm not sure 100% sure I'll return, and a few friends who encourage me to use it and not worry about what my work thinks.
I work in a permanent administrative assistant job with great benefits and I could get up to 4 months fully paid maternity leave. I love my boss and my coworkers, and I don't want to burn bridges because it's a nice place to be in general. I think my time here on earth could be more wisely spent as a mother, doula etc. which is what'll I'll do for work as a new mom.
I will be the first person to get pregnant in my department EVER. Others are parents, but interestingly, they are ALL men, and they are all "company men" fully committed to putting work first and family second. Returning to this job is not an option - I work at least 10 hours per day and I intend to nurse, and I don't want my kid in preschool for that long.
This is NOT a family friendly place, but the only place I can make great money and have fantastic health insurance for pg and birth.
I really would appreciate some advice and your opinions.
Is it unethical to use my leave if I'm unsure about returning? There are pros and cons to both sides.
Is it my earned time off for six years of service to this billion dollar company?

I also worked in the film community before becoming a SAHM and incidently, I know quite a few lesbian mommies in LA - we should get together!
anyway, here is what I did...I was hired by my boss and my salary was then deducted from my bosses budget. Since my leaving or staying would affect his budget, I opted to tell him my plans upfront, like this: I do not think that I will want to return after I have the baby, however I feel that I am entitled to my state maternity disability leave, as I have been paying into State Disability during my entire tenure working for him.
Therefore, I got 6 weeks paid disability leave.
If I were you, I would look into the Family Medical Leave ACT which allows you one year of unpaid leave to be with your child after your maternity leave is up - then they have to hire you back to your position at the same salary, etc...
I would take advantage any benefits that you have as respectfully as you can.

I was in the work force for a number of years and saw that very thing. The woman would take her maternity leave and then not return to work. So I don't think it is as uncommon as you may think.
I have often thought about this even though it has never arisen in my life. I'm not particularly fond of corporate America so I would not hesitate to use my maternity leave. I'm sure I would suffer a pang of guilt every now and then, but I still wouldn't return.
Member posted 03-09-2001 11:22 PM
Actually FMLA only gives you 12 weeks. Its very common for women to "quit" at the end of maternity leave. My boss made the decision for me when I told him I'd be pumping at work. oh well I didn't want dd away from me for 11-14 hours a day anyway
My unemployment ends soon so i'll have to go to work
Member posted 03-10-2001 05:14 AM
Take it!
You're going to be a single Mom. What happens if you get to the end of your leave and realize that you don't have enough income from your alternate plan?. Going back to work for a few weeks and pumping while you look is better than being stranded. (Hey, if you're lucky you might get fired like HeatherM ) I'd leave the decision officially "open" - just because you know what you want doesn't mean you need to unneccessarily eliminate options!
Heck, How much vacation do you have? Can you take it as half days? I don't think women who intend to come back and change their minds after being home are morally obligated to return, and I don't think you need to make the decision officially until you get there.
Member posted 03-10-2001 06:09 AM
Take it! You need it and they can afford it. It would be different if it were a small, struggling family-owned business, that's teetering on the edge. But paying a longtime worker for 4 months and then hiring a training a replacement is not going to put them out of business! Especially if you make yourself available for training your replacement and effecting a smooth transition.
I used to worry about the same thing. (After all, the main reason I took this job was to get health insurance so that I could have a baby!)But my boss has reassured me that it's not unusual for people to have babies and then decide what they want to do about work, and that what matters to him is that I do my job well as long as I'm there. So although I've only been here a year and a half, I've done my best to do a good job -- that's about all I can do. Really, employee turnover is par for the course!
And I would second the opinion in the previous post that you don't really know if you can afford to quit altogether -- best to keep your options open and take it a day at a time and not make any hard and fast decisions till you have an alternative in place. Maybe you want to apply for a one year leave of absence instead of quitting, as a way of keeping your options open? That's what I'm thinking of doing.

Hi people. I don't want to make you all sick, but I do want to encourage you all to move to Vancouver Canada, where as of Jan 1 this year, we get ONE YEAR PAID MATERNITY LEAVE!!!!!
You can take this whether or not you intend to return to work. My employer (the gvt) tops up my wages and pays benefits during the leave, but....if you do not return within 18 months you have to pay back the top up and benefits. I think this is very fair. The actual mat leave benfits (59% normal wages) are paid by the federal gvt, and you do not have to pay these back if you do not return.
Take the money and run all the way to Hollywood North!

Willow, that sounds great. I wish the US had that kind of policy.
Madison, I say take the maternity leave. You can't predict the future, so it's best to keep your options open. Some unforeseen major expense could arise that could force you to go back to work early. Or you may decide after being at home for a while that that is not the best situation for you. You can't really know how you'll feel until after the baby is born. If you find that you want or need to work, you'll still have that option.
unregistered posted 03-11-2001 12:04 AM
Madison, your maternity leave is not payment in advance for future work. It is a benefit that you have already earned. Do not feel guilty!
Moderator posted 03-11-2001 06:09 PM
Madison, I would take the paid leave and then see if you can take on the unpaid Family and Medical Leave time (which is 3 months nationwide, unless it is longer in California).
This will give you the cash you need and the space to figure out your financial and work situation knowing that you could always go back if you really needed to. Right now you know that you don't WANT to go back, but what if you need the psychic security of knowing that it is there (maybe you can even bargin for part time) if you really need it.
Also, wouldn't it be cool to tell them "I could try to come back part time if you understand that I will be working shorter days, pumping 3x a day and it's on a trial basis..."
I think you are going to be a fantastic parent!

I started a job when I was 5 months pregnant, then took maternity leave and didn't come back. It's expected that you will take your maternity leave. The decision to come back or not is best made when your maternity leave runs out. So...yes, take it!
Moderator posted 03-12-2001 12:54 AM
I'm also in L.A. I took my maternity leave but knew in my heart that I wouldn't want to return to work. It helped that I wasn't too crazy about the job. On leave, I was just getting the disability checks, no pay from the job at all and I had to pay an amount to continue my benefits. VERY IMPORTANT: Don't forget that your benefits may also cover your child for the first 60 days or so. Maybe more. Mine did, and boy, did we need it as there were some complications.
I didn't feel guilty about not going back. Not at all...especially since a job promotion promised to me became a new position that I was invited to apply for--resume, cover letter and all! My boss kept implying that as a mom I probably wouldn't be able to put in the extra hours required for the job. (Hint, hint: you won't get the job.) Of course, my old position, stripped of the little bit that was interesting about it, would still be waiting (legally it had to be). Gee, thanks.
I'm still at home with my son at 21 months.
Take the leave, think about it. Then do what you need to do to take care of yourself and your child. That's the most important thing.

About FMLA - You have to been employed for a full year before you are eligible for this benefit. Although I had worked for my boss for more than 3 years - his contract was transferred to new owners and when that happened, I officially hadn't been under the new owners contract a full year, so I was not eligible. Read all of the fine print.
Also, be aware that your medical benefits my not cost you anything right now, but the same policy will triple if you buy it as an indiviual - e.g. As an employee I was apying $100 a month for incredible insurance - to COBRA I would have to bay $800 for the 3 of us.
Good luck!

Hi Madison,
I know how you feel. Before I got pregnant a manager at my job criticized women who knew they would never come back to work after having a baby. 6 months later, I'm pregnant and I KNEW that I would never go back. I felt strange about it knowing what the executives would think- they were good people and I didn't want to burn bridges.
So I devised a plan.
I told everyone, "Yes, of course I'm coming back!" Even my friends at work I told them the same. After my baby was born I'd visit them with my newborn and when they asked again I said, "yeah, it will be hard..."
When it was time to go back, Human Resources called me to check in and I told them that I was totally in love with my baby and I couldn't return. They were wonderful about it and wished me good luck and believe me, there were no hard feelings. I was replaced, life moved on and I never looked back.
COBRA was only $ 219.00 a month and it lasts for 18 months.
I wish you the best.
You are a brave woman and I hope everything turns out ok.

Thank you all for your thoughts! I really do want to take this leave eventually becuase I know it would give us a good start, thanks for pointing out things I hadn't considered. I look forward to hearing any more thoughts that you have.
Iguanavere (funny name, hehehe) I'd love to talk! Which studio did you work at? Email me at
[email protected]
if you have time. OH, and I've already asked about COBRA'ing my benefits, and it'll cost about $250 per month. Pretty steep, but I'm also looking into private insurances. Ugh.
Willow, I'm jealous of you all in Canada! BC is gorgeous, too. (I'm from Spokane, so we visited BC frequently - we vacationed in the San Juan islands and took day trips to Vancouver and Victoria).
I also like the idea of talking about returning, saying I'd be willing to work 8 hours max, pumping in the morning and afternoon and taking an hour lunch to nurse Their heads would spin all the way round! Actually, if I could find another mom for a job share situation (and both work 5 or 6 hours) that might work! I know many producers now because of my current job, this might be an option....I do like production, but I also want to work as a doula and spend the majority of my time with my kid. See, brainstorming works!

Health & Safety
A white-knuckle three-hour rescue operation managed to safely free a Florida construction worker who had been trapped waist-deep in soil in a city storm drain.
It took a painstaking effort by local emergency response teams to pull out the 57-year-old worker, but he was conscious and responsive when transported by ambulance to an area hospital after the ordeal Tuesday (Aug. 14) morning, authorities said.
Photos: Clearwater Fire and Rescue
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is among several agencies investigating the accident, which could have cost the unidentified worker his life.
Emergency Response
The episode began about 8:20 a.m., when the man fell through the soil and became stuck about six feet below ground level at an intersection where his employer, Caladesi Construction of Largo, was working on storm-drainage maintenance for the city, officials said.
Teams from several area fire, technical rescue and emergency operations jurisdictions responded within minutes.
The worker was never more than waist-deep in the muddy soil, but the soil tightened around his waist and created suction that made it impossible to pull the man out. And because the soil was loose and runny, more poured in and the man sunk deeper as rescuers dug.
'He Kept Sinking'
"The soil was so loose and saturated," City of Clearwater spokeswoman Elizabeth Watts told a local television station. "As we continued to dig it out, more kept coming in, and he kept sinking further down."
The three dozen responders worked in shifts because of the heat, but every hole they dug immediately filled with soil.
Finally, Watts said, "they put him in a harness and they had to go in and dig the dirt out from underneath and actually push him up onto the ladder to get him out."
Company Responds
Caladesi Construction said in a statement: "When the employee became stuck and could not immediately be freed by himself and/or coworkers, emergency help was requested... . Our main concern at this point is the health, safety, and welfare of our employee."
Watts says the company has had no previous problems in the city.
However, the company does have a record with OSHA. The agency cited the contractor for a serious violation in December 2009, six serious violations in August 2008, and six serious violations in 2004.
Also, in 2010, OSHA included Caladesi on a list of "15,000 Companies with High Injury Rates."

In NHibernate SessionFactory is said to be a heavy object and it is suggested that SessionFactory should be created once in application life span. However once we get handle to SessionFactory, we do call open() on it before doing any DB operation.
In EntityFramework we need to create an object of ObjectContext every time before doing any operation with underlying store. There is no opening as such in case of EF.
My questions is:
Is Creating a context in EF is similar to calling Open() on SessionFactory in NHibernate?
Or should I create ObjectContext once in application life span and share it across?
Update: I found following link on managing ObjectContext lifespan. However in that link author mentions:
However, you shouldn't use a static ObjectContext in an ASP.NET application, since static members have a lifespan beyond that of a single HTTP request. They're actually bound to the lifespan of the AppDomain, which might be minutes or hours. In fact, static class members in ASP.NET are even shared between multiple threads and users of the application. Using the same ObjectContext instance from within multiple threads simultaneously can cause serious problems.
But in NHibernate we do the exact same thing. We create SessionFactory as a static field and then use the same instance across application again and again.
Is that what being suggested as a wrong practice in case of Entity Framework?

Pro surfers can paddle circles around us, but we've got them beat when it comes to beachy waves. LiQWd's styling cream lets us get effortlessly tousled locks without getting anywhere near the ocean. Infused with high-tech ingredients, the lightweight formula adds tons of texture and body, even if your locks are naturally straight. It contains a blend of moisturizing oils and extracts revive damaged locks, as well as an intoxicating floral scent.
My hair is thick and stick straight, so it's nearly impossible to find a product that makes it wavy. This did the job, but only for a few hours... definitely left me with beachy, mussed-up, just-rolled-out-of-bed hair, but in a nice way! Would work excellent on naturally wavy/curly hair or thinner hair, I imagine, and it smells great.3
While I like that this product avoids imparting the typical brittle feel associated with "beach hair" products, the scent was hard to get past. It reminded me of some sort of drugstore product designed for teens. I think this works best if it's cocktailed with a mousse or another product that offers a bit more hold.3
I liked the texture of this sample - very lightweight but it was not doing much for my hair which has a bit of natural wave. Didn't have much hold and really couldn't tell much difference between using and letting my hair airdry without putting anything in it. It was probably moisturizing but that's really it.3
I have been looking for something to give my hair a beachy look for a while and I was really hoping that this would be the one when I saw it in my box. It didn't really do much other than make my hair feel a little coated. It looked almost exactly as it would have if I had styled it normally. It smells really yummy though.3
