The Globe loves to bash on unions though this critique is pretty fair. (disclosure: I am a member of the MTA). Liked this note at the end:
> PS: I would draw your attention to the extra pay that teachers can get for coaching and advising, last page of the TBF report.
$10,834 for football head coach;
$5,415 for intramural assistant softball coach;
comparable amounts for other sports coaches;
$1,390 for Drama Club advisor (who presumably directs the plays?? Am I wrong?)
$1,390 for academic debate coach.
