Sara have you talked to your district administration about this?  I did talk to mine and told them we would have to pay our employee's more since they will have all this training required to work in these positions....would you like to know what they said?? 

"Where is this money supposed to come from to pay higher salaries?"  I would like to know the answer to that question myself!  Schools are struggling balancing their budgets as it is and most school foodservice operations don't make money.  I would like to know what his "big increase" in pay is supposed to come from and who is going to pay for all this training that is supposed to be taking place.  Why would a 2 hour server at a satlite school take all this training that will cost them over a weeks worth of work each year want to keep this job? 

I think this task forces ideas of what they want and what can really happen in the schools is totally different, not even on the same page!  Our schools are not going to pay us more money, because they don't have the money to pay us more!  Our employee's are not going to pay to go to this training and the schools will not pay for it because they don't have the funds! 

Just like most of my employee's don't belong to SNA because they CAN'T AFFORD the DUES!!!  So you guys want to pass guidelines that say we have to get this training and pay for it or have the schools pay for it but there is no money for this! 

There are numerous posts on here from current members saying SNA is not representing them in the way they want and talk out about passing these guidelines but what does SNA do....they pass them anyway....I guess only the top people in SNA get to call all the shots and the members have no voice at all since they are not being listened to by our so called leaders!

I guess this will be my last year to be a SNA member also if we are not going to be taken seriously and have our voices heard!  I believe you will have many more that are in the same boat our schools here in South Dakota are in.
