NO DRUG TESTING, THEN NO TEACHER PAY RAISES

Since the HSTA now finds that the members refuse to comply with the
labor contract they agreed to, there is only one fair thing to do.

The state must stop all pay raises, reverting back to the pay scale in
effect when the new contract began.

They must also recoup all money paid to HSTA members under the new
contract.

Negotiations should be restarted, just as if a contract had never been
agreed upon.

The union will, of course, threaten to strike. HSTA never had any
intention of meeting the requirement for random drug testing, they
intended from the start to get the raises and then find a multitude of
reasons why they cannot/will not do random testing.

Isn't it about time the HSTA learns it does not control the
state?
