Educators and associated unions showed up alleging unfair contracts that include a debated health insurance option.
PALMER, Alaska - A rally for fair working contracts was hosted by the Mat-Su Education Employment Association and the Classified Employees Association after both groups were unable to reach an agreement with the Matanuska-Susitna Borough School District on employment contracts.
A huge crowd of educators, union workers, and supporters showed up wearing red and came to speak their minds. The rally flared up after the school district and its employees were unable to reach an agreement on employee contracts. Most were upset to have to fight for what they believe is fair conditions.“We are asking you to show us enough respect to direct your team to work with us, to find a solution that will allow us to settle this before the end of the school year,” Mat-Su Education Association parent Vikki Hewitt said. “Let’s not drag this on any longer.
The unions argued that the school district will not settle on a contract until both organizations give up their current health insurance provider for one that the district chooses for them.
