Hamilton teacher layoffs

Would absolutely love to hear from any of the non-tenured Hamilton Township teachers who got laid off. Basic, quick question: What is your opinion of your union now? Feel free to comment anonymously below, or email me at jedelstein@trentonian.com if you'd like to talk about it further.

Had with the unions?

A lot has been made in New Jersey over public employer unions.

On the surface, it appears the current administration wants to cut them down to size, and, on the same surface, it appears all public employees are on board with their unions.

That is not the case, as this blog will demonstrate.

We'll be talking to state employees -- on record -- about how they feel their union fails them. We're also open for comments -- we understand if it's your desire to stay anonymous.

This story is part of a larger effort at The Trentonian, where we are starting to pull stories together by first going to you, the reader. The story(ies) will appear here as we get it, culminating in a giant print and online story.

Stay tuned.
