BTU MEMBER NOTES

Pledge to be there and protest! And, petition Superintendent Notter to let him know we are all coming!

BTU leaders want to protect the jobs of all employees and make sure all employees receive a cost of living raise. We have analyzed the district budget and know the district has the funds to make sure every employee receives a salary increase.

Superintendent Notter got his 2.6 percent raise. Currently, thousands of employees will receive no raise at all this year.

Please pledge to join us at the protest and petition Superintendent Notter to tell about it! Pledge to attend  the BTU Informational Negotations Protest after school from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 3 (rain or shine) at the K.C. Wright Building (600 SE 3rd Ave.) in downtown Fort Lauderdale. All members are urged to carpool with colleagues, parents, family members and friends.

Pledge to attend the Informational Negotiations Protest today!
