I'm very surprised by that. Seems like he had a lot of momentum. I think the Michael Moore deal with him killed him.
I thought him standing with the teachers had locked him into a win. Good luck state employees. You’ll need it.
Tough to watch so many states promise it's employees so much that can't be paid for.
Ojeda was an insincere opportunist. West Virginians saw through the act. One second he is a Trump supporting Democrat fighting against the establishment. The next second he is raking in money from outside groups and sipping coffee with Michael Moore. He f'd up. He f'd up real bad.
You realize WV teachers' pay was 48th in the country? 35% below the national average?
Def understandable but where's the monies in one of the poorest States in America? Most people here are on some sort of assistance and or a fixed income....Everyone is getting f**ked with there health insurance across the board...A lot of people around the State getting screwed over already told the teachers welcome to the club
Thats what 84 years of one party rule will do for you. The repubs are trying to fix it with 5% this year and 5% next year.
Repubs have had control since 2014. They even attempted to pass legislation making it illegal to have walkouts. You're unbelievable. Morrisey even threatened to throw them in jail.
Cost of living is a factor you didn’t include as is average class size, and you left out our state’s educational ranking.
You tossed out ******** talking points.
48th is 48th. Sorry to hurt your feelings. You think those western states like Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, etc have larger class sizes? LOL.
Show me where any Democrat controlled WV state government EVER gave the teachers a 10% raise over a two year period. Don't let the cold hard facts get in you way.
You are the gift that keeps on giving.......thanks for making my point. What party has mainly been in control in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota over the years?
That clown can go back to reading the communist manifesto and worshiping in his closet Bernie Altar.
As a union member im against walk outs , but im private sector, so its different but walk outs hurt us all , employees, employers & the customers
Back to back 5% raises is not a 10% raise. Maybe we shouldn't be giving teachers a raise.
True.....back to back 5% raises is the correct statement......but it still makes my point. Another salient point it that the Repubs could give the teachers a 100% raise and the teachers Union would still be against the Repubs........it's a WV thing.
Idaho???? I noticed you mentioned Wyoming in you OP but not in you reply.......but I'll help you out.....they rank 15th in teachers pay and have been controlled by Repubs. But the facts are that WV Democrats,not national Dems, failed the teachers in WV for years and years and years.
