Detroit Public Schools Emergency Financial Manager Robert Bobb said Saturday he’s poised to impose a 10% pay cut if teachers walk off the job this week.
“To those teachers who are trying to force their members back to the table: The negotiations are over,” Bobb said out side the Detroit Parent Network breakfast, addressing ru mors of a strike Monday.
Keith Johnson, president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers, said he opposes the 10% cut, but does not support a work stoppage.
Thousands of DFT members railed last week against a contract proposal that defers $10,000 from each of their sal aries over the next two years. The 3-year tentative deal would save DPS $62.8 million. Voting on accepting the con tract ends next week.
