Detroit teachers livid as they go unpaid, shortchanged
|
 [EAGNEWS.ORG] While some teachers might complain about the size of their paycheck, bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
Public School teachers are hardly surprised when they don't get a check at all.
"We need something that will effectively, regularly pay the teachers what they're owed. They do the work. They need the pay. They need it on-time, with bills to pay. All they get now is a runaround," Detroit Federation of Teachers President Steve Conn told Click on Detroit.
Conn raised a ruckus in the media this week after some of his members were shorted hundreds of dollars in their paychecks, while others didn't receive a pay check at all. And it's not the first time.
The socialist union boss blames Republican Gov. Rick Snyder, of course, because Snyder has sent in emergency financial managers to divert DPS from its crash course with total financial and academic failure, though the first EFM was sent in by former Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm.
"There's been nothing but a steady degrading and dismantling of any kind of structures within the system, including just regularly and accurately paying our teachers," Conn told Michigan Radio. "There's no fairness for the teachers in the DPS payroll system, and it's continuing to drive teachers out of the district."
Conn said that when district officials do resolve payment issues, teachers are paid on debt cards, which "are even harder to deal with" because of withdrawal limits and fees, according to the radio station.
"When I went online to look at my pay stub, I saw it was short by a whole week," Regina Dixon, a teacher at Coleman A. Young Elementary, told The Detroit News.
