John Ferguson commented on Tim Funnell's blog post My Gripe - don't read this as you may find it disheartningJohn Ferguson commented on Marcia Murphy's blog post Support Staff may be replaced with students"Gaye my hours go up and down as the need requires and I have to accept that. There is no negativity in my remarks, students have been helping students for a long time now and in some cases make a great deal of difference with the younger kids. We…"
John Ferguson commented on Marcia Murphy's blog post Support Staff may be replaced with students"Students at my school work very well with the younger kids and get some pretty amazing results. The students that have been accepted onto the programme are selected for their maturity and how well they interact with the youger students. Another knee…"
John Ferguson commented on Margaret Stormont's blog post AGREEMENT RATIFIED NOW NZEI SUBS RISE BY 9.65%"Linda how many people do you think will be leaving the union? I think you will be surprised I for one will be leaving the union, why would I even think of staying, all they do do is take more money off me than they manage to negotiate in a pay rise.…"
John Ferguson commented on Margaret Stormont's blog post AGREEMENT RATIFIED NOW NZEI SUBS RISE BY 9.65%"No worries Margaret we just have to keep on at them and hopefully there will be action taken either to get more awareness out there about how badly we are being treated or we will get banned from using this site. I was told that the powers to be are…"
John Ferguson commented on Margaret Stormont's blog post AGREEMENT RATIFIED NOW NZEI SUBS RISE BY 9.65%"Margaret I mentioned this subs rise in my posts earlier on and brought it up at the meeting as well, people just dont seem to understand how they are being ripped off by the union. I too am having thoughts about leaving the union and going it alone,…"
John Ferguson commented on Tim Funnell's blog post The New SSCA"It was one thing that I did try and make clear to the people at our meeting that we have had no pay rise for 6 months of this year so cut what we did get in half.."
John Ferguson commented on Tim Funnell's blog post The New SSCA"Agree with what you say about new support staff joining the union, why would they? A new starter gets 62c an hour less than me, which goes down now that the pay has been ratified to 47c, next round to 32c and then stabalises out at that, I know in…"
John Ferguson commented on Tim Funnell's blog post The New SSCA"I agree Tim I was told that my posts were being monitored by head office so I am visibly shaking in my boots at that remark. You are right that we have to just keep the momentum on until something happens as it seems that very few people are ready…"
John Ferguson commented on Tim Funnell's blog post The New SSCA"Tim after the showing at the PUM on Monday I feel really sorry for those that have to rely on the pay that they get now. The payrise is a mockery and will show when people can no longer afford to do what they love doing because the union has sold…"
John Ferguson commented on Neil's blog post PUM Feedback"Agree totally with you Margaret my meeting was similar. I was not allowed to finish what I was saying and the tone was not good. To be told that the union higher ups were monitoring my blogs I think was an attempt to intimidate me, they obviously…"
John Ferguson commented on John Ferguson's blog post My views on the pay deal"The good thing about the meeting today in Whakatane is that they did not vote on the increase in the subs, the only person that mentioned it was me when talked about the non pay rise that we are getting.. Does that mean that they cannot raise…"
John Ferguson commented on John Ferguson's blog post My views on the pay deal"Well there were more who voted for it than those that voted against. I stood up and talked but in the end was not allowed to finish what I wanted to say. Good morning to those at the head shed that are monitoring me, hope you enjoy. What was said…"
John Ferguson commented on John Ferguson's blog post My views on the pay deal"Why oh why would I vote for a 1.5% pay rise it is an insult to one and all. I would rather laeve the union and save mtyself more money that they can give me in a pay rise. That is the same reason I would not recruit any of the support staff that are…"
Chic McConkey commented on John Ferguson's blog post My views on the pay deal"if you say NO which is your choice which way you vote there is NO guarantee you will get more and also you will miss out on the 1.5% which will be payable in Sept once settlement is ratified .Anne Tolley told us at …"
Chic McConkey commented on John Ferguson's blog post My views on the pay deal"well if you have been doing a job for 6 yrs that comes under scale A and on step 2 that is something you take up with your school your principal BOT ...or phone the HELP line . explain to them they will tell you what steps to take with…"

My views on the pay deal
The pay rise and other points for the leadership team. Well after all the traffic that has gone on the Fair Deal boards I thought I would start my own discussion.
Grateful you may be Chic it still does not get away from the fact that it is a very poor deal. Lets use some random figures. Lets say that you earn your money to feed your family. It costs $100 to feed your family and you are paid $100. A year later you get the pay rise of 1.5% inflation is running at 5% your pay goes up to…
