New York’s teacher shortage is a direct result of Tier 6. Educators must work nearly a decade longer and face penalties unless they stay until 63. We’re asking the next generation to give more and get less—and they’re walking away. Fix Tier 6 = real recruitment, real retention, and public schools our students deserve. poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/news/202…

Little-known fact: NYS has about 10,000 state & local public employees who make >$250,000/year. A growing share are Tier 6, meaning they contribute to their pension (unlike Tier 4 folks). They want to "Fix Tier 6" because they would immediately pocket $7,500/year! #progressive

@PolicyEngineer @nysut @shawnhaley33 @LockportEducat1 The dollar amount cost is for the legislative branch to iron out and determine what is feasible. From a veteran educators perspective continuing down the landslide and creating an uneducated society costs far greater than any tax bill. We are short subs, can we sign you up?

@PolicyEngineer @nysut @shawnhaley33 @LockportEducat1 Tax the ultra wealthy and rich. Tax offshore accounts from individuals making millions in NYS while those working with the future generation try and decide whether they pay bills, buy gas or afford groceries. NYS government got themselves into this mess and can get out of it.

Does anyone know why @GovKathyHochul needs to sign a law to allow pensioners to return to schools and go over the annual cap? We need to stop talking out of both sides of our mouths. The EDUCATOR SHORTAGE is real and there’s one easy fix. FIX TIER 6! @LockportEducat1 @nysut

@PolicyEngineer Imagine having two masters degrees and getting paid 40k a year and 100k in student loans. Seriously? The reward for a lifetime in public service is a comfortable living in retirement with a sound pension. We pay our dues. Do you pay yours?

Imagine an employer putting 28% of your pay in a 401K. The "healthy" NYC teacher pension fund is "healthy" if you ignore their high return assumptions, and because NYC had to pay the equivalent of more than 28 percent of payroll into the "healthy" pension fund last year.

@MelindaJPerson @nysut @cbcny @Greg_Berck @NYSchoolSupts “We need to see significant change in both the age and contributions because they’re so egregious," @UFT President Michael Mulgrew said. Employers don't need to offset any changes in contribution rates because the pension funds are healthy and going to be bloated he said.

@KeshiaClukey You people live under rocks. Come visit a public school. Go look at dwindling teacher prep programs. Truth be told, NYS public schools can’t afford to pay teachers for a 40 year career! They need to allow them to retire under one of the top pensions in the US and spend in NYS!

NY State budget discussions on whether to sweeten retirement benefits for Tiers 5 & 6 are centered around lowering the retirement age and reducing pension contribution rates — changes that come with an estimated price tag of billions of dollars a year. newsday.com/news/region-st…

It’s 6pm…do you know where all the student-teachers and education prep programs in NYS are? No? Well we do! Nearly non-existent since NYS implemented UNFAIR TIERS.😡30 years is a career, but only if you see a future in it. FIX TIER 6 NOW! 🎓 @nysut @SenatorOrtt @GovKathyHochul

Cold calling people to head hunt for positions was once reserved for the elite and management. Now, because of a flawed retirement tier system in NYS, TEACHERS are being cold called and offered positions to switch districts. The shortage is real 🚌✍️@nysut @GovKathyHochul @WGRZ

@GovKathyHochul @SenatorOrtt Thank you for your support of public education in NYS. If you want the next generation of NY children to get the best education you need to get this fixed and right the wrong of those before you! Labor is counting on you ✊✍️🦬🇺🇸

There are approximately 780,000 public employees in New York. I am one of them. I see the impact of our broken pension system every day in my community and that's why I am calling on New York to #FixTier6. ⁦@BuffaloNews716⁩ ⁦@McMahonforNYS⁩ ⁦@SenatorBaskin

The promise of a career in public service is a fair and dignified retirement. I stand with the approximately 780,000 public employees in Tier 6 in NY who are suffering in this two-tiered system. The state MUST #FixTier6.
