A judge granted the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers an injunction Monday, temporarily halting expected changes to their healthcare plan.
Earlier in the month, the School Reform Commission canceled teacher contracts and required them to pay minimum healthcare premiums. The move sparked outrage and protests from the teachers union.
At least the lawyers for the SRC will get lots of money now.
I really hate the arguments about this, which tend to come down to "well everyone else pays something for their health insurance." Total compensation is total compensation. Paying you a salary and then suddenly yanking some of it back for health insurance is just a salary cut.
