18. Discussion Mediator’s Rec’d Triborough can’t guarantee job security but will allow district to try to maintain current programs guarantee teacher layoffs to fill deficit from salary ($1.4 mill 12-13, $1.3 mill 13-14) plus any other cuts needed. no new money in schedule but payments cover increased health cost step movements occur. health stays at 10.5 % BUT increased $$ paid due to increased costs shows new political reality financially allows us to maintain finances has language that clearly gives us control of ERD, Elementary Prep, secures MS no language changes, and district can and will impose their interpretation.

19. Final Thoughts from the Mediator If the parties are unable to agree on a successor CBA, a party may invoke the next stage of the impasse resolution procedure under the Taylor Law, which is fact finding. This next step would only create a fact finder’s recommendation. Under most circumstances the fact finding proposal would mirror one side’s position and therefore not be acceptable to the other side. I do not think that the passage of time is in either party’s best interests. The resolution of any matter necessarily requires compromise and a realization that not all goals can be achieved in one round of collective bargaining. This is especially true in the current economic climate.
