Stockton Unified School District Union Rips off Tax Payers with Bogus “Day of Mourning” Claim

According to CBS 13,

The school board has approved a $139,000 compensation package to pay several hundred support-staff employees who worked on Jan. 2, 2007, which President Bush had declared a “National Day of Mourning.”

According to union representatives, contract language says that employees are entitled to holiday pay on official days of mourning. After the union filed a grievance, the school board voted Tuesday to pay employees.

A spokesman for the school district said the decision came down to language: If Bush had declared a day of “recognition,” the holiday pay would not apply.

is there anything more disgusting than lazy slackers stealing tax payer funds by making up the most ridiculous nonsense to file claims on? this should be so illegal! and what’s with the Stockton Unified school board approving this garbage? they should be ashamed! such robbery!

and even worse? The District blamed the PRESIDENT!

Of paying out the money, Stockton Unified human resources director Allyn Bulzomi said, “When the presidents do this, it costs everybody money - school districts, states, cities, counties. If they had called it a ‘National Day of Recognition’ or something like that, it wouldn’t have been an issue.”

WHEN THE PRESIDENTS DO THIS? GOOD GOD! WHO IS RUNNING THINGS OUT THERE?
