Just read the PulseLine article concerning the secretaries & custodians agreement. More gobbledy-gook to confuse the taxpayers. What does a “three year severance pay-out provision” mean and just what is the amended sick leave policy? These folks also work nine months a year with Christmas and spring vacation weeks plus every holiday known to mankind off. Is it any wonder that the tax rate must go up again? The city must have the worst negotiation team known to mankind! When is someone going to step up and confine these benefit packages to the taxpayers own experiences? Once again the school committee & unions reflect their “bottomless pit” approach to financial stability. You did not read that contract article in the PulseLine.
