Dear ThatGuyInRI,

Are you saying that Netcoh "requested" or "demanded"?

Big difference.

I'm sure that over the last several months, she discussed a ton of options, including retroactive pay. I don't think she ever denied talking about that, but rather than play the "he-said, she-said" game, let's just look at the facts as we know them. Fact: Netcoh was willing to meet with the School Committee (SC) "anywhere, anytime, on any day to discus any related topic" She gets an "A" for effort in my opinion.

Fact: The SC flat-refused, on multiple occasions, to meet under any conditions and then finally agreed to meet only if several topics were prohibited from the conversation. They get an "F" for their behavior, and while we're at it I give the Mayor an "I" for incomplete.

Fact: He didn't even show up for 2 years! I would have been there from day one. (unless the parties preferred to talk in private)

You may or may not agree with the terms of the final contract (I may not either!) but I think we can agree that Netcoh spent a "ton" of effort on it. That effort alone deserves great respect.

By the way ThatGuyInRI, how do you grade Netcoh, the SC, and the Mayor for effort over the last 2+ years of contract talks?

I do agree with you on one thing. It will make for good reading. I look forward to reading your comments at that time. Until then Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
