Pat Hermann questions the IEA’s present behavior regarding bargaining the constitutionally guaranteed rights of teachers and retirees
The Illinois Education Association has sent signals to the state legislators that on behalf of its members the IEA is willing to make a new deal and grant an additional 2% of current teachers’ incomes (from the present 9.4% to 11.4% of gross) and consider reductions in cost-of-living increases for those teachers who are already retired. Many other offers that might endanger the future status of our constitutionally protected rights to active and retired teacher pensions, which may not be “diminished or impaired,” are being reconsidered by the IEA leadership. Union leadership under IEA President Cinda Klickna claims that membership is demanding this from her. However, Klickna refuses to disclose the verifiable source of these supposed membership demands. – Ken
