I've had enough too, enough of people who don't know what they're talking about.

The "sunset clause" of a contracts continues the working terms of the contract. Any pay raises are on an annual basis.

For example, if a contract calls for a raise of 3% in 2019 and 3% in 2020 and 3% in 2021, those raises are for those years specifically. It does not call for a 3% raise ad infinitum, it is for those three SPECIFIC years.

So if a contract expires, without being renewed, the TERMS of the contract continue until a new contract is signed. It continues at whatever the pay rate was in the last year of the contract. Therefore, if the sunset clause continues, the workers get a 0% raise until or unless a new contract is signed.

And no, I"m not a Warwick teacher but I do have a clue. Key-rist.
