Rejecting union cost diocese dearly
The following editorial appeared in the Wilkes-Barre Citizens' Voice, October 13, 2008:
Rejecting union cost diocese dearly
The decision by the bishop of the Diocese of Scranton to reject the teachers’ union may turn out to be an expensive proposition for the church.
Nearly $2 million in sick pay and severance pay is due the teachers who were laid off when the diocese rejected the union.
An arbitration decision handed down last month called for the diocese to immediately begin paying out $725,000 to 40 former teachers from the former Bishop Hoban High School.
This is one example, among many, of why the diocese should have continued to recognize the union.
