In his opening remarks Mike Mulgrew mentioned the spring break arbitration thusly (I added the bold)...
Cannot go into details, but we have made clear we must receive the value of our work. Arbitrator concerned about money. Car day not equivalent. Two for one upon retirement. We need value of 7 days work, which we did. Expecting to know something by next week.
Arbitrator concerned about money? What does this mean? Whose money? Which money? This statement is quite cryptic and can mean several things.
1. The arbitrator is concerned that the city would have to pay out too much money and we will either get nothing, or at the very least each teacher will receive two 15% off coupons for Denny's.
2. Mulgrew knows already that the arbitration failed and he's starting to grease the skids to blame the arbitrator.
3. We will not get 100% of the spring break monies. Maybe like 50% or less.
4. He's making it look bad on purpose so when if we do get total restitution he will come out looking like the white knight on the white horse.
5. We will get 7 days added to our CAR.
6. We're screwed and getting bupkus.
Something is just nit sitting right with that statement he made. A SBSB nearly octogenarian fanboi shared with me that he doesn't think we will be made whole. I really don't want to think that way. I mean, how can anyone work seven days without being compensated for their time? Oh yeah. Only teachers can. Or rather, made to.

"You'll get nothing and like it!"
What would your resolution be? How would you handle things differently? Arbitration is the way to move this forward. If we just refused to work and went on strike this days like some at caucus for change have suggested, the city would have docked us 2 days pay for each day.
What exactly would you want done differently, or is this just a gripe blog post with no real actionable issues.
Exactly!! what would you do differently?
@11:37 and 4:28 Please show me where I said this should not go to arbitration. Where have I said to strike?
