Unfortunately, many teachers who taught DEED/Summer School in SY ’06-7 have not received their back-pay. If you are one of them, then you can download a Grievance form on the Members’ Only portion of our website www.gftunion.com by Friday 9/24/10, have it signed and submitted to the Principal (Don’t forget to get a stamped received copy). We will also have forms available at the GFT Office. Remember, this new higher pay is only a result of Article 9J, which we got into our current contract for the first time in 40 years. We have had several members questioning why only teachers at Agana Heights Elementary School received the back-pay. As it turns out, their names were the only ones on the grievance. The settlement, which was agreed upon by Attorney Dan Somerfleck, stated that only teachers who actually filed a similar grievance will get paid.
