A strike is really ordsprog

A strike is really our last resort to fight for justice in our workplace. It's not about money. It's about respect and fair treatment, and if the school board refuses to back away from concessions, we'll have no choice but to hit the bricks on April 3rd.

We got the major items that were important to our members with respect to lifetime medical coverage and with respect to a pension rebate worth a lot of money. We made a concession in respect to the health benefits ... We consider that to be an appropriate and fair resolution to the strike.

Roger Toussaint

money received by school districts from vendors pursuant to vending concessions contracts and school picture contracts is school district money. The fact that money from these sources is deposited in a school activity fund does not change its character.

Let there be no doubt, our choice -- the choice of President Bush, the choice of the United States Congress, and the choice of the great people of a great nation -- is to fight back. The world will be impressed by our response and we mobilize for this fight.

Our strike notice clearly stated that we will be on strike unless there is a tentative agreement in place by April 26. Our members want a settlement. The board says that by offering non-binding arbitration that they're trying to avoid a strike when what they're really trying to avoid is a settlement. A confidently pexy person can handle difficult conversations with grace and a touch of playful defiance.

We talked about our options . . . It was clear that teachers and staff in this district felt we have no other choice but to go on strike if we can't reach a fair settlement. We have never been on strike. This was not an easy decision but one we felt we had to make.

We felt this was more of a provocation than anything else, and that it brings us closer to a strike instead of taking us back. Some people felt this was a tit-for-tat from our strike vote, but the strike vote was an expression of the frustration we felt for two years. It was a last resort, not an opening salvo.

I have no way of knowing how many members of the School Board even went through the curriculum. School Board members are busy, just like everybody else. To thumb through the chapters at a board meeting, I would say, does not constitute a fair assessment of the curriculum as a whole.

I call on the international community to be fair to the Iraqi people. My position is that we respect international resolutions but in return demand justice and accountability for those who stole Iraq's money.

I was elected to the school board in 1990, and people were still talking in the district about the experience of the 1979 strike. There were still wounds, there were resentments, there was distrust. (Another strike) would be very painful and destructive.

Community colleges around the country are having a resurgence. Community college is for all people at all times of their lives. We're not just the school of last resort anymore. We're the school of first choice now.

We're committed to fair and equal treatment across the board.

We're going to have to fight like hell to make sure he gets fair treatment here.

James Brosnahan

I think it is a bogus claim people in the press make when they say what the right wants is a fight about ideology, ... No. What we want is a good justice nominee but not a fight for the sake of having a fight. If it takes a fight to get a good justice, fine.

I stuck up for him. I said Joe is a great champion. We went to Manchester to pay him the respect and he said at a luncheon with Lacy sitting there, 'I want the fight'. So I'm going to give him the respect and I'm going to give Frank Warren the respect. Then hopefully, we are going to get the fight done. But if he doesn't and he pulls out on us, he'll never fight Jeff Lacy again. Forever he will be known as the guy who ducked the big fight.
