Report Inappropriate Comments

Corrections to the prior comment from the fake "mayor" for readers who appreciate context and accuracy:

-- "[W]hy have we had no teachers contract for TWO YEARS!?" - The teachers union could have negotiated a contract with the prior school administration but chose not to; the new administration made an offer that then resulted in arbitration and mediation; the school committee recently approved a contract that the union then rejected.

-- "I suggest that Camille Vella-Wilkinsons legislation does not favor either side, and just brings an element of "stability" to the negotiations which benefits BOTH sides." - Forcing a community to honor an expired contract locks in prior terms, which may pose financial hardship to the community; such a situation clearly benefits the union over the community.

-- "At present, the School Committee adheres to the previous contract when it benefits the School Committee to do so and ignores it when that benefits them." - The school committee has prevailed in court over its legal ability to exceed the limit on teacher layoffs set by the prior contract, which the union sought to maintain through a grievance it initiated with the National Labor Relations Board. In this case, it was the union seeking to keep terms that benefited it in place.

The fake "mayor" will no doubt continue embarrassing himself with his next comments.
