District 300 School Teachers Union Says 17.4% Pay Hike Contract Not Good Enough
Sunday about 800 of 1,200 certified teachers and other employees gathered to reject Carpentersville School District 300’s contract offer.17.2% salary increase over 4 years wasn’t good enough.
Seeking 3 more sick days for every decade of employment, the union wants them because unused ones can be cashed in.
“We’re trying to save [the district] money, and they don’t seem the least bit interested,” the Northwest Herald quotes union spokesman Steve “I am District 300” Pittner.
Pittman said the teachers did not want to strike.
