The NJEA asks: do you really think the rich care about YOU?

Speaking about the rich not caring about public employees, let’s look at the compensation for the NJEA big wigs.  Tom Moran, a Star-Leder Columnist, wrote the following:

“Brace yourself: The top five officers earned an average of $764,000 in compensation in 2015. The big winner was the executive director, Ed Richardson, who pulled in $1.2 million, roughly twice what the national union pays its executive director.


These are union folks, remember, the same ones who rail about economic injustice. The middle-class teachers they represent earn $70,000 on average, and pay about $900 of that in annual dues to this crowd.”

That NJEA compensation was from 2015.  Just imagine what it is today.  The NJEA leadership won’t disclose that information to its own members.


Paying an NJEA Director $1.2 million with forced union dues while posting your headlines above?  Yes, that’s rich.
