On Thursday night the Panther Valley School Board, which covers Nesquehoning, Lansford, Summit Hill, and Coaldale, voted to replace 16 union employees with a New Jersey company and scab labor.
The Board first asked the janitors to take a $5.00 an hour pay cut. Their pay was $15 an hour, which meant a reduction to $10 an hour. They said no, understandably.
Drive through Bertsch Street in Lansford, or Railroad Street in Nesquehoning. These places need help. And now the school board turns its back on local employees and hires scabs. What a travesty.
