Christie is amazing. He has the guts to talk about this while he is forcing all teachers to pay more for the very same benefits they were forced to pay the union to negotiate!

Does ANYONE realize that teachers had paid for their benefits? It was a lie to tell the public that teachers did not pay for benefits. The union that teachers are forced to join negotiates, which means that they agree on a lower salary for the benefits they want. Teachers recieved a lower salary so that they could have good benefits and now thanks to our lovely leader and sweeney, teachers will continue to be forced to pay the union because they do the negotiating, but the union is not allowed to negotiate health benefits!

Teachers will continue to be forced to pay the union the same amount of money(thanks to STATE LAW) even though the union can not negotiate benefits until the sunset clause which is not 4 years as sweeney has told everyone.. It is four years after teachers are paying the max premium percentage.. of their premium. This will be four years after the teachers three year contract is up. Another Sweeney lie.

Negotiations will never make up for the money teachers are losing thanks to Christies property tax cap. Christie has divided the people of our state with lies and led people to believe that teachers were not paying for their health benefits. This is simply not true at all.
