They asked the Board to reconsider its contract proposal because, in their opinion, it did not recognize employees for their work, consider the futures of current and future employees, consider other agencies' pension programs, and used other agencies' economic hardships and adverse press against pensions as a reason to reduce what the District has offered in the past. They stated that they did not want the District to become a "stepping stone employer" or to lose the talent it currently possesses, as a result of the contract the Board is proposing.
