HFT Wins Pay For New Teachers!


When HFT went to the New Teacher Training in August and discovered that the newly hired HISD teachers were not being paid for 3-4 full days of training, we filed a grievance on their behalf. 

HFT WAS THE ONLY ORGANIZATION THAT PROTESTED HISD NOT PAYING THE NEW TEACHERS FOR THE AUGUST TRAINING.

After several delays, and with the hearing officer pressing to schedule the case, on Tuesday, HISD's attorney asked for "48 hours to find a settlement"

Today, we are happy to announce, HISD sent a letter to every new teacher telling them that they will paid $125.00 for every day that they signed in for the training!  SEE THAT LETTER BELOW.

ALL HFT MEMBERS CAN TELL ALL NEW TEACHERS IN HISD, WHETHER THEY ARE HFT MEMBERS OR NOT, "YOU'RE WELCOME", AND "THIS IS WHY WE HAVE A UNION!!"
