How many days will be I be paid for on the last day of school?

NPS sent out a memo about the last pay check of the year. 

All full time NTU members will be getting a ten day check on Friday, June 15, and a ONE DAY CHECK on Wednesday, June 20.  That last check will be direct deposit.

Per-Diems will be paid on their normal bi-weekly pay schedule.

When we stand together, we have power in numbers. That power allows for us to bargain a good contract that includes decent pay, health care, retirement security, and better working conditions. It gives us a seat at the table with our employer to negotiate for things that improve our job and allow us to better serve our communities. Interested in joining?

Tell your Assembly representatives to leave public worker retirement benefits to collective bargaining. Union members are already restricted to a $15,000 payout for unused sick time at retirement. Taking that benefit away from unionized public workers is unfair. Assembly members who respect workers should reject this legislation.

Legislative Session Wrap-Up

June 1, 2018 - Bow, NH

In just over three hours it was over.  Some legislative sessions end in high drama.  The 2018 legislative session ended on Wednesday, May 23 with barely a whimper or ripple, at least in regards to legislation of direct concern to AFT-NH.  Of course, after all the drama surrounding SB 193, the “whack a mole” so-called voucher bill that had seemingly refused to die, we welcomed the quiet end to the session.

A coalition of community and labor groups and legislators continued its statewide campaign to raise the minimum wage in Pennsylvania, arguing that the $7.25 an hour minimum leaves working families with incomes below the poverty line.

Burnsville Teachers (District 191) have been teaching all year without a contract. We support the contract and bargaining rights of all teachers, and join them in their fight.

Seen here are WBLTA President Michael McKenzie, and his daughter Tori, a 191 middle school teacher.

OFNHP members at PeaceHealth St John Medical Center in Longview kicked off contract bargaining on Tuesday, May 22. The lab workers elected a bargaining committee with representatives from each shift, aiming to negotiate a fair wage scale and safe staffing levels. Negotiations resume June 4. Stay tuned for ways to show our OFNHP-wide support for this campaign.
