"New Post: The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette is in collusion with the Pittsburgh Public Schools. The Post-Gazette has disabled comments on the Watkins' assault because the owners and editors of the paper know that these comments will bring negativity on the so-called district, who are in partnership. Therefore, the newspspaer is infringing upon the very thing that is supposed to move newspapers: The First Amendment. The newspaper has also been informed of the district's stealing money from its employees via the egregious PNC paycard with its illegal fees and stealing pay days worked by teachers. The latter was never disclosed by the district and union to its staff and its members, respectively, because many people left the district had hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen from them by the district in unison with the union. The union leaders should be in jail for not disclosing this to its members. The theft is due to teachers not being paid for their first two weeks of school until the last pay of the year in June. Consequently, any teacher who quit, resigned, or was terminated before the last pay did not get the salary earned for the first two weeks worked. There is a list and a group of people filing grievances against the district right now, and there are a number of maternity leave women suing the district for being cheated out of days worked, but Esposito never let the members know. In summary, if you have or had a PNC paycard, left this district before the end of the year, or are or were on maternity leave, you are a victim of salary theft by the district in unison with the PFT 400. Post on here to get a file action suit against both entities, but more importantly to see Esposito and PPS district superintendents past and present in jail, but most importantly to get teachers who worked for this district the money earned.

This goes for sick days too. When I was sick at the beginning of one school year , I couldn't start the year until after the first pay period. They used up around 17 or 18 of my sick days for me to receive my paycheck. If I had been sick at a different time in the year it would have only been 10 or less sick days used to receive the same pay. The union had nothing to say except to agree "it doesn't seem fair" I wonder if I can join this suit. Do you know who to contact?
Yes, email thomaspaine4281@gmail.com, and then get everyone you know who was a victim of wage theft by the district and the union to do the same. Think about this, why aren't teachers paid on 8/31 after working two weeks and/or why aren't teachers paid for the 18 days worked up until 9/14, instead of the 9.2 days they are paid? Answer: to steal the money from any worker without dick days, who quits, dies, or stops working before June.
First commenter: you hit the nail on the head, unless you worked the whole year. If you did, your last June paycheck covered the first two weeks. The wage theft only occurs if you stopped working during the year and did not receive your last paycheck, or if you did not receive the second paycheck in June at all. Many teachers have had their salaries stolen by the district in this manner, but the deal culprit is our own union who rescinded the promise via email to pay teachers on August 31st.
