Where's My Money??

Many Members Being Paid on Wrong Grade and Class For Years and Can't Get Paid...
I'm Just Sayin'.........
That' s right, PGCPS has basically let us know that they have underpaid staff for years, but refuse to pay our members for the service they have provided. I know, it's hard to believe, but people have been intentionally or unintentionally placed in the wrong grade and/or class for years.
We have been asking nicely for a long to time for our folks to receive the retroactive pay they've worked for all these years. Every time we bring it up, we get a smirk that says "Whatever." Some Executives have been bold enough to tell us, "sue us."
It is amazing that anyone would step in the necks of their employees with such reckless, uncaring and demeaning behavior in one meeting, and walk right into the next meeting talking about the mental wellness of their staff like they actually care. All of this going on and people wondering PGCPS can't retain or hire enough staff each year.
I love PGCPS, don't get me wrong, but I don't care at all for the degradation, nepotism, cronyism and 18th century bullying tactics used to keep folks from speaking up. If you scared, say you scared, but if we come together, we can strike a mighty blow.
PGCPS has acknowledged their wrong doing, error or oversight, but have yet to correct it.
Remember, every issue is not necessarily your issue and may not impact you at the time, if ever, but as a union we have to stand together support our colleagues in unit 2 or unit 3, when they have issues.
If We Don't Stand Together, We Will Fall For Anything.......
Do you think misclassified staff should get retroactive pay?
Take The Evaluation Survey Even It Doesn't Affect You, Let's Stand Together!!
Can PGCPS Decide ON or OFF for Administrators Like They Have Done For Teachers?
Please Take the On Cycle Off Cycle EVALUATION SURVEY Right Now.
ASASP, straddling the fence sends the wrong message. Please be informed that PGCPS Executives says that you all never complain about evaluations, so they think you love it.
They have gotten the impression and expressed to union officials numerous times, that you like being evaluated every year despite the teachers in this county being totally on or totally off cycle. They think you like being overburdened, overworked, understaffed and beat down.
I know some of our overachievers just love being tested and put under unnecessary pressure and stress, but you can't straddle the fence on this.
They think that you love being scored on your INFORMAL OBSERVATIONS, even though as a principal or assistant principal you can't score teacher's INFORMAL OBSERVATIONS.
We have to stand together as one for the changes that we demand this system needs to make to create a more equitable work place for all employees.
