There's usually more to these things than meets the eye.<br />She talked about this...with the people she eats lunch <br />with...made the Decision well in Advance of this Hearing... <br />Overzealous about going downtown...and doin' the dirty work...that's her...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-4342790998188715522009-10-06T16:56:37.259-04:002009-10-06T16:56:37.259-04:00While the arbitrator cites 'misconduct his fin...While the arbitrator cites 'misconduct his final lines as justification for his excessive fines, there is really not misconduct here besides an isolated sleeping incident.

What does the fine have to do with pedagogical incompetence? I know arbitrators want to ingratiate themselves with DOE but this is over the top!! <br /><br />And Chaz...your point on the pension credits is noted but check the math as he now has to pay the pre-tax amount for the two months pay...not the amount he actually receives. If he was suspended without pay he would only be losing the amount he normally receives in his pay check for two months !!!!(plus, of course, the arbitrary 5K.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515738343772337569.post-18266551133726040332009-10-04T08:17:09.459-04:002009-10-04T08:17:09.459-04:00I see that the Arbitrator modified the award to 5,...I see that the Arbitrator modified the award to 5,000 dollars and two months salary which is about 12,000 dollars.

Seems somewhat excessive to me. However, it did seem that the Arbitrator did find the person guilty of most of the counts.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.com
