(November 1, 2016) While many still scramble to get their homes in order after the August flood, the Ascension parish school district is also dealing with wide spread damage.

Colleagues,

You have all heard the saying, when one door opens, another one closes.  Well the NTU doesn’t accept that willingly. When one door opens and another one closes we stick our foot in the door jam and demand to know what’s going on in there. 

The American Federation of Teachers-New Hampshire has endorsed a slate of candidates for President, Senate, Congress, Governor and Executive Council who will advocate for working families and provide a positive agenda.

Colleagues,

 1)      Respect the Contract – Negotiations continue between NTU and NPS regarding our contract.  Things have been progressing well in many areas, though the process continues to be slow. Our next negotiations session is scheduled for next Thursday.  Hopefully, we will have some news to report out after that session.  Until then, continue to RESPECT THE CONTRACT!  Nothing more, nothing less! 

Colleagues:

Next Wednesday, the Newark Teachers Union will be hosting an emergency meeting for our Child Study Team members to discuss pertinent information that will impact all of us.

Seniors worry about many things: some they have control over (like political elections) and some they do not. Seniors are the most reliable group of voters and politicians should be courting them and the things that matter to them like Social Security and Medicare.

Dear Adjunct faculty,

I am very grateful that many of you have read the tentative agreement and are voicing your concerns for it! It is very important that we all make an informed decision that affects our employment at Victor Valley College.

Elections can be close with only a few votes separating the winner from the loser, promoting progress or stopping it.... Voters can be complacent, ignoring their civic responsibility and change the outcomes of elections by their apathy. 

As Florida residents it is our obligation to cast our ballots in every election and this current election is definitely no exception.  The policy differences between the two major-party candidates could not be more striking.
