For months @cceanv has publically ridiculed @NSEAOnline & #TimeFor20 campaign.
CCEA's hatred runs so deep that their sudden about-face on salary raises now sees them raising their ask from 10% to 18%, 2% shy of what NSEA has been fighting for months to get teachers. (1/?)
And if you ask CCEA why they settled on 18% & not 20%, they probably spin a tale about how costly that extra 2% is.

A 20% raise would cost ~$312,421,079.96
An 18% raise would cost ~$308,714,918.73

That difference is ~$3,706,161.23 per year or ~$7,412,322.46 for 2 years. (2/?)
Let's quickly review how we got here.

In December 2022, CCEA attack chihuahua Jessica Jones wrote an op-ed on behalf of CCEA that #TimeFor20 would be too costly for the state.

In case you don't remember that piece, here it is:
new.ccea-nv.org/time-for-20-ca… (3/?)
2 months ago, CCEA teamed up with NV Democrats to release their plan of adding $250M to the budget to improve teacher salaries. That money would give teachers a 10% raise.

This weekend, CCEA held a meeting for their members where they informed them that they were fighting for an 18% raise, w/ 10% next SY and 8% the year after.

This, after days ago when CCEA & their attack chihuahua reminded us all that they're fighting for 10% not 18%. (5/?) Image
So here we are, CCEA saying one thing but doing something completely different. This is their MO every.single.session.

In Dec - Mar 31 there wasn't enough money for a 20% raise. They introduced a bill for a 10% raise & now suddenly they're fighting for 18%? (6/?)
Where's their new bill? How will they spin suddenly finding enough $$ for 18% raises?

Why not go 20%? It's a $7.4M difference for the biennium.

In a state with a $2.3B surplus & HUGE revenue-drawing events like F1 & the Super Bowl coming to the state. (7/?)
CCEA realized that their members were unhappy with 10%. LAUSD teachers got 30%. CCSD & NV teachers deserve the same. The state has the $$ for it.

But rather than join forces with NSEA & fight for every penny, they'd rather fight for $7.4M less for teachers.

That speaks volumes
