Scarsdale Teachers Compromise - Where's Bedford?

The Scarsdale teachers union has agreed to accept smaller raises:

Adam Yuro (president of the Bedford union), are you paying attention? In the past, you have always cited the (equally dysfunctional) surrounding districts as your precedent for an endless flow of increased salaries and benefits. The worm is turning.

Most people I know are just happy to have jobs right now, let alone actually get raises. The board has simply asked that you accept smaller raises so as a town we can actually afford you. And yet you remain intransigent. This intransigence is losing you public support by the day. Even school parents are beginning to see that the problem here is not the generosity of the taxpayers but rather your union.

Unions have slowly been destroying public education for years. What we're seeing now is an acceleration of that process.
