Re: Re: Parkade school faces roof leaks after snowstorm

People have permission to have an illness, but if they get sick, their

employers

have permission to fire them and hire somebody else. Thats the way our

system works.

For people who count on a promised pension that can be a financial disaster,

but it can be great for a school district's bottom line. Many older

communities have been

generous with promises of benefits, using them to attract workers who they

otherwise

would have to pay more for.

So if unhealthy schools force older teachers to quit, that gets them

off the hook for their retirement benefits.

Its all or nothing. If they quit after working to one or two years before

retirement age,

its my understanding that they often get nothing.
