MEMORANDUM

 

 

Memo To:   All Buffalo Teachers

From:         Philip Rumore, President, BTF

Date:          September 29, 2022

 

Subject:    Updates

Negotiations

  • As a result of the Fact-Finder increasing what he would like submitted on October 7, 2022, we have updated our submission and will resend it to him.
  • We have advised the District that we are prepared to resume negotiations before submissions are made and after.
  • In response to the concern raised that we are “fear-mongering” by continuing to advise teachers to be careful of what you say, our attorneys have asked us to continue to advise you of this as they are very concerned about what has and can happen.
  • For those who expressed concern that the BTF salary/compensation package was being viewed as excessive:
    • It was lowered from our first presentation.
    • It shows just how far behind other districts we are.
    • It is still less than Buffalo teachers deserve.
    • I will never be afraid to stand up for what Buffalo teachers deserve… Never.
