this was posted on another thread earlier the teachers are avoiding this subject

"Norma Rae" Linscott chose to run an economic strike (we're worth it signs) instead of a strike over working conditions ...........and under the rules of a economic strike, the owners of the company (superintendent) can hire all new permanent replacement teachers....... the strikers are not fired, and they retain all seniority rights, but would have to wait until a opening occurs before they can come back to fill any empty position

A unionized employees right to reinstatement after a strike ends varies based on the type of strike and the underlying reason for the strike.

Economic strikers who are striking as a result of the employers failure to reach an agreement over wages or other working conditions may be permanently replaced but cannot be terminated. Strikers who are striking as a result of an unfair labor practice cannot be permanently replaced or terminated.

At the end of a strike, unfair labor practice strikers are entitled to be reinstated to their former positions (even if that means the employer has to terminate replacement workers) as long as they have not participated in any misconduct. Economic strikers who offer to return to work after the employer has hired permanent replacement workers are not entitled to reinstatement. However, if they can't find equivalent employment elsewhere, they are entitled to be recalled as job openings become available.

Right.

What about the art teacher MISS MAXWELL who took a picture from one of the boards twitter page and posted it on facebook. And then said OH IT WAS DONE IN FUN, AS an professional I am sure she is fully aware that was done in bad taste and somewhat a bullying tactic, her intent was to make fun of him. . It doesnt matter if he had it there. Wasnt your job to copy it and repost it. really want you back in my chiLds class.

Good going board don't give these thugs a platform to spew more of there already tired propaganda. P.s. shady your a jacksss. I don't think the board is afraid of the backlash from parents as most of us parents suppot them. P.s p.s shady your a jackass

Oh please Linscott. The board isn't protecting themselves from public backlash. They're protecting the teachers from additional public ridicule and students from watching people who at one time, mattered in their lives. You have proven time and again you can't behave yourselves. She's just itching for a big media event and will stop at nothing to make this about her. Teachers, stop being such sheep and defend yourselves already. And I don't mean this pathetic turn-out, simple minded picket line stuff. Start doing the right thing and cross the line. You've elected a Union President that managed to make the Strongsville BOD popular. Holy cow, when has that ever happened. I think she is actually a double agent working for them. No one can be this incompetent. Narcissists everywhere are erecting statues of the Linscott Deity (Insert image of those monks hitting themselves with boards in Monty Python). And John is the Night that Says.... NO!!!!

Marathon Dad,
you said it the teachers texting minors and trying to persude them to do something not morally right (bullying complete strangers). is sure grounds for dismissal, and not even the two coaches basketball, football, who now have criminal records. And should not be able to use the clause , that went out the door when they broke the law..

The coaches for sure Marathon Dad they are first on my list, what sorry role models to yell in the face of womem half his size and prevent parents from droping off KIDS !!! USING YOUR CAR AS A WEPON NICE REAL NICE. @##$$##@@!"$'

Once again I will say the board owes the familys that filed what clearly was a legitimate complaint about the bulling and name calling by the basketball teacher an apology, he proved exactly what they said he was.

I can admit when I've been wrong, and on the issue of the SEA having the community support, I've been wrong. It's clear we don't, and need to go back to the drawing board.

I think your right that you have been wrong shady p.s. your still a jackass

Ok, so we all can agree Tracy should lose her job as President, either now or very soon. Let's focus on what we can agree on and end this strike!

I agree strong, lynn?

I read all of your comments, but I do not say much here. This strike needs to end. Our children are the ones that are losing out. We have some real unprofessional teachers in our system and in all systems. That being said, we also have some really good ones as well. In my opinion, the Board has placed their Best and Final Offer. It is time to start the replacement process. If you would like to stay under our last best offer, then stay, otherwise we are replacing you. Period and end of story. The good ones will stay, the dead weight will see there way out. The one's that have acted like jack asses need to be dealt with.

Life can go on without them....it already has

I have child at the high school. All of his classes are back to normal as of today. He is an honors student. He is doing fine. He is more in favor of at least 4 of the subs than he was of the original teachers. He is learning, they are working and are having tests and quizzes. They will all be fine. The Administration at the high school has done a wonderful job with handling all of this. We need to get rid of the lazy tenured teachers that we have in Strongsville. The good ones will stay because they need a job. We need fresh, new teachers that want to create NEW lesson plans and are happy to have a JOB!!

Hi Folks,

Good news, I'm back!

And is everyone else tired of hearing about Kobe beef? Its basically salsbury steak. If its not wagyu, why get it?

Picketing outside of the board members homes is low enough, but then to take it to their workplace is totally unacceptable. I think we should make signs that state the teacher's name and salary (i.e., Tracy Linscott - $82,000, etc)(it's all public record) and carry them at the next rally.......enough of all of this...start the replacement process!

REALLY? If everything is suddenly so peachy why am I spending the evening teaching Science and English lessons to my Straight A Honor student?

Because YOU are a teacher and have chosen NOT to send your kid to school. Home School and get used to it....

Wrong Frank not a teacher and my child is going to the sitter I mean School.

I am teaching her the lessons she is supposed to have been taught in school. Obviously these Subs are NOT teaching a thing.

Yes

C - I have read your comments - you ARE a teacher, the new system is working. And if you were not a teacher, how would you know what she was "supposed" to be learning in school....everything was taken, the subs are doing a good job of moving forward. I have reviewed my child's work for every class....they are fine ...remember everyone and anyone can be replaced.

Not a teacher. I know what she is supposed to be learning because I talk to her every afternoon about what is going on at school. She has a test tomorrow on science which she was not taught.

Can anyone tell me what those orange flyers said that the sea posted?

STRONGSVILLE TEACHERS

let me be the first to help you out

Myron,

It's called Ghosthorse Vineyards. Boutique winery in CA. One of my personal favorites.

Time to have a bunch of parents give Tracy a visit at her estate:
6303 Acres Drive, Independence, OH 44131

Flyers have a picture of the BOE from their own website with their telephone numbers. At the top of the flyer is says "Missing."

Here's a great picture of the filthy Albion Middle School teacher Amy Mcmillan in a protest pictre from two years ago practcing for this year's protest:

http://www.thepostnewspapers.com/strongsville/local_news/article_901b6027-2ff9-5512-b598-5e9b6c17c86d.html?mode=image&photo=1

Rumor is that she vacationed at an Occupy Wall Street rally!!! She has personally nearly caused many car and bus accidents at the entrance to Albion. She should NEVER return to being around kids!!!!

Just found Amy McMillan's e-mail address for those who want to tell her to get out of their way at Albion:

Amytmcmillan@gmail.com

McMillan is the best example of why CB doesn't work. If we had a system that rewarded excellence and not time-served she could devote the time at sit-ins to protect the tenure-welfare-state and earn more money by being a peak performer. Instead, she carries signs and protects the mediocrity cult.

If the strike lasts till Friday does that mean the teachers will lose their Spring break vacation paycheck?
So 3 weeks of strike = 4 weeks lost pay/benefits? I don’t know but was curious. Stay strong BOE! Proud of you that you are setting an example for all that you should live within your financial means.

If the strike goes into Spring break it would be a great idea for the BOE to pay the subs (i.e. new teachers) to work during Spring break. This would be a great time for them to fine tune their lesson plans, decorate their classrooms and attend workshops on how to deal with bullies. Stay strong BOE!

Hey C I have been teaching my son ALL year. I have no idea what if anything REAL teachers teach during the day but it can't be much. I also wonder why our kids have to have 2-3 hrs of homework every night. Is it because lazy tenured teachers can't get the job done when the kids are in class. Our kids get on the bus at 7 am every day and sometimes don't finish their school work until 9 or 10 at night. That's a 15 hour day for them and us meanwhile teachers get to work 1/2 that amount of time as they've pawned their work off on the children and their parents.

Rich, I agree. In the long run, our kids will be better off if we replace the tendured teachers and move forward with replacements and keeping the ones that are truly in it for the kids. It will show by who stays under the Best and Final Offer!!

Attention Teachers:
Today is the first day of Spring..................
A balmy 28 degrees out there...
Karma sucks!
Overpaid Babysitters

About those orange signs - sounds like the SEA can add littering to their list of stupid things they keep doing. Maybe they should have to pay the city for the cleanup for this.

Now only 1 striker at Zellers????

I drove by Center this AM....not kidding, not a single horn, but ample thumbs down. Cross now!

Lyn - The strikers only have to be there 1 hour before school.

Question -
Am I reading the recent comments correctly?

Are the teachers not only picketing at the school AND in front of the Board members personal residences - but they are NOW also picketing and gathering at the Board members own places of business - places of business that have nothing to do with Strongsville schools?

Is this really true? It is so unbelievable!!
And these are the same teachers who have been demanding respect? They won't have any from the community after all these stunts.

Some little known facts taken from a recent OEA/SEA conducted survey:

97.8% of teachers do not even attempt to sleep at all because they just don't ever stop working. It's that insane of a job.
Over 90% of teachers do not eat anything outside of school. No time. Too much work to take home.
98% of teachers do not even realize that they have children of their own, because they are working so much and "raising your child" for you that after the school day, they are in a perpetual state of hallucination due to lack of sleep and nutrients
Over 95% of teachers barricade themselves into a room or home to create lesson plans during the entire duration of summer break. Less than 2% of those teachers surveyed said they left their home or room at one point for a short break of 15 minutes or less. The rest worked straight through.
100% of teachers surveyed felt they should receive higher compensation. Of those, 100% could not voice why without using the word "deserve."
100% of teachers surveyed agreed children should be graded on their performance. Less than 1% of teachers thought it was appropriate to grade teachers on their performance.
0% of teachers surveyed agreed to do this survey after completion of school day, as they would not be compensated at time of survey (and they are too busy)
100% of teachers surveyed chose a bowl of donut glaze over a bowl of whole grain cereal
Survey question judging Tracy's performance as SEA president was not permitted.

This is getting really bad. Maybe we should make signs with teachers pictures on them reading "AWOL" or "WANTED FOR CHILD ABANDONMENT". Both would be true.

Why not start protesting/picketing in front of their homes? How about we start with that ogre with the long goatee who is out in front of Center every day pretending that he is the "intimidating" one of the group? What could this clown possibly teach?

Yes and the signs should have their names and salary listed very largely!

Has anyone else noticed the new white/green signs that say "We Support The Strongsville Teachers"? I thought is was about the kids. They are not even trying to disguise it anymore. Funny though, those signs are only showing up in the yards of teachers. Saw 4 total going through town today. They are so predictable. These are the only homes that put out Levy signs also. Will not need any of those for awhile.

i still think we should create signs with their names and salaries on them. Enough said....Best and Final. It is below the belt to picket at someone's place of employment...not even in this community....they disgust me. I will never vote for another levy in this city...replacement process needs to begin.

you know this is actually a good idea
everyone owns a printer
pick a 70k-80k teacher closest to your house
print up 50-100 flyers
place them on the front porch (or newspaper slot) of all their neighbors
make sure you list their address (for the dog walkers)

Disgusting bullying behavior, taking picketing and crowd assembly from school grounds to Board members personal residences and to Board members places of employment.

Once and for all to hear. I am a parent of children in the SCS. No relationship to OEA SEA anyone. If the subjects were being taught properly there would be no problem. She absolutely understands what I have gone over with her

Lyn, are they doing anything illegal? if not, go away with your crying.

When will everyone stop picking sides and say enough is enough. Lock them in a room together and no one leaves until there is resolution. And stop the talk about not supporting operating levies. As the school system dies so does your home value, neighborhood, city. This will come to a close. Demand an end now. Demand everyone sit down and do their job. Sitting in another room thumbing your nose at others doesn't make it go away.

And you think others outside the community aren't reading all the generalized hateful words being posted?

Once again Frank NOT a teacher

No BS just facts. You get what you pay for.
