Average MPS Teacher Compensation Tops $100k/year

[Milwaukee, Wisconsin] MacIver News Service – For the first time in history, the average annual compensation for a teacher in the Milwaukee Public School system will exceed $100,000.

That staggering figure was revealed last night at a meeting of the MPS School Board.

The average salary for an MPS teacher is $56,500. When fringe benefits are factored in, the annual compensation will be $100,005 in 2011.

This is exactly why the Public Secor Unions need to be thrown out on the street. The FOIA lets us see salaries of teachers which by the $ figures seem not to bad but they refuse to count in all the benefits and the perks which the majority of the public have no clue on.

I find myself on the edge of sanity for sharing sentiments with the Diogenes of American progressive ideology. Beside me in spirit and fully in support is Franklyn Delano Roosevelt, who, in his thick Harvard accents whispers, “Write what I say. Government-employee unions are WRONG!â€

IT’S ALL ABOUT SOCIALIST UNIONS, NOT JOBS!

(Feb. 21, 2011) — As usual, the American press is totally misrepresenting events in Wisconsin, Ohio and beyond, where state Governors are finally taking appropriate action to address their state budget disasters before state bankruptcy is their only option.

The goal of these governors is to stop the federal government from driving them into bankruptcy via federal mandates, including the insane federal demand that public sector unions be saved at the expense of state insolvency.

To set the record straight, Wisconsin and Ohio labor protests are NOT for the purpose of protecting jobs or even reasonable pay and benefits for public sector employees. The protests are focused solely on saving public sector unions, without which, there is no Democrat Party.

That explains why state and federal Democrats worked to rally and bus union thugs to Wisconsin as Democrat legislators fled from the state and their duties as legislators in an effort to shut down public schools and state business. Wisconsin business and education is being held hostage by 14 Democrats on the run in Illinois. – And that’s why collective bargaining and union thuggery must end for government jobs.
It’s NOT about “fair employmentâ€

Just because most Americans are working for depressed wages does not mean teachers should also be slaves. Everyone should be making what teachers make. And when they say they are adding on "fringe benes" they mean they are adding on costs of the teachers already retired. Teachers, or anyone else, making 50K or 60K....that is as it should be. Same with the auto workers. All it means is that their unions were able to keep their pay up with the cost of living over the years. If everyone made these wages, which they should, then they would be paying more tax and the state would not be so broke. State workers are probably the only people left who have any disposable income to spend into the economy. When you starve the workers then you starve the economy and the local, state and federal agencies....since they depend on tax money.
