Teachers insulted by deal's ambiguity

To the editor: You wrote that multiple financial wrongs will not make a right and U-46 teachers know from experience they are the first to suffer with financial problems. Then you send a veiled threat that the teachers enjoy the public's respect for absorbing changes and might lose this if they disagree and vote "no."

Teachers are collaborative, by nature and are entitled to a fair agreement that is truly fair to both sides, not just to the superintendent. This is corporate greed at the highest level.

You wrote that the teachers would insult the taxpayers by rejecting this proposal. The insult is asking a group of professionals to accept an ambiguous contract when they receive much less compensation than professionals in other fields and are charged with the formation of our future leaders.
