" When Montgomery teachers return this year they will find lots of missing people particularly in the support services. These people were laid off as a result of the budget crunch.

The real fault however lies with the school union boss. If there would have been a small cut just this year in the negotiated 4 percent salary increase no one would have had to be laid off.

As far as we know there was never a meeting between the union boss and the teachers to discuss a possible solution to the budget crunch all of us have felt in the real world. So the union boss was directly responsible for these unfortunate layoffs in these tough economic times. So much for having paid union dues for all these years.

But where were the teachers, they could not discuss this with their union boss??????? The teachers had no input????

And they are going to teach our kids????? "
