BERLIN – With a June 16 deadline approaching, representatives of the Worcester County Teachers Association continue to work with the school system to finalize salary negotiations.
The teachers association and the Worcester County Board of Education resumed salary negotiations this month after the Worcester County Commissioners voted June 2 not to fund pay increases for teachers — or any other county employees. The requested board of education budget of nearly $83 million was trimmed to $79 million.
That forced the school system to reopen negotiations with the teachers, who were seeking a step increase and a 2.5-percent cost-of-living increase.
Beth Shockley-Lynch, head of the teachers association, did not return calls for comment this week but school system officials confirmed that negotiations were underway.

Just stop your fussing and pull up your big girl and boy pants and get over it like the rest of the working people. Teachers and Board's problem is they have been catered to far too long and it is time to stop it. There are plenty of working folks across this country and this county that have had no pay increases or cola's for a very long time. Why do you think you all are so special? Your behavior has said it all.
