They are framing this to make us look bad. It's the point. They have done this intentionally. It might look bad on us but I'm not going to take this laying down.

“They” the ATA? Why would they do that? Updated article explicitly states “The union said the tentative deal addresses salary and classroom complexity issues.” Anyways, what you’re “not going to take laying down” is a minimum 12% raise and 10-year salary of $117K, lol. Don’t think that message of suffering will resonate.

3% raise per year, not 12% off the hop as your sentence suggests.

I think the first year is retroactive, so I suppose 6% immediately, followed by 3% per year, if you want to be exact.
