May 29: there's no trust in any Admin goodwill left!!!

May 29:  I'm with you all 100%

May 28: Good luck

May 28:  You have to join a union and just fight and fight.

May 26:  Just to let you know that I support you guys all the way.

May 21:  Somehow the Board has to be made aware of the pervasive "fear factor" that is evident in filling out the administration evaluation forms as well as being able to speak out.

May 18: I have thought that each person should be evaluated based upon their job performance which includes many things.

May 13: Keep me posted.

May 10: Thanks for the information. I checked out the website and it is nice.

May 10: It surely must be a real nerve racking situation.

May 9: very helpful to keep the faculty updated

May 9: I do think the faculty and staff need to be told about the website

May 6: I wish you well in your work with the union.

May 6: You are the guys who in the end are going to make the great ship ADMIN ASIJ turn a bit

May 3: Boy, they are sure trying their best to get rid of you guys

May 2: Why do the older teachers get the crappiest deal.

May 2: I hope that your step of joining the union will at least prompt the Board and Administration to have further discussions with you and in so doing come to a more just solution.

April 29: Sorry to hear that you guys had to go the Union route in order to get the board and administrators to treat you like valued employees

April 28: It has really been quite delightful to be treated as if one's age is totally irrelevant (USA)

April 27: What a mess! I think the card you are playing is one that had to be played

April 26: I hope a resolution can come that is best for all.

April 25: We hope that tranquility returns to campus and everyone can focus again on their jobs

April 24: I applaud you and the others for taking the needed stand in this matter and joining the union. I hope others follow your lead as I don't believe the administration and board members have the faculty/staff members concerns in mind when making decisions.

April 24: I know many teachers that wish you good luck

April 24: thank you

April 21: Good luck and sincere best wishes.

April 18: It is starting to feel SO awful. To think that in a few short years I will be treated like a second class citizen

April 17: I applaud you for "sticking your neck out" in pursuing this avenue, and I do agree that we will probably only get our human rights as workers met through legal means. You must be aware that quite a few teachers are afraid of reprisals by the Administration should they join the Union

April 17: You guys need to get some stuff out to the whole faculty

April 11: I fear central admin just does not "get it" when it comes to decisions involving people most importantly

April 10: You really have done a fine job. I am sure that all teachers thank you for your time and patience.

April 10: Peter/Tim have been making some inferences I think need to be cleared up

April 9: I only see the use of the Union lawyer to rectify a "wrong" situation here at ASIJ.

April 7: about the retirement question. We think it's pretty absurd too. I don't know anything about a Union, but it sounds like a good idea.

March 31: Don't give an inch when you know you are right. I wish you all the best

March 29: If we can help, just let us know

March 25: Sure sounds like you are on the right track

March 22: I don't get where these guys are coming from AT ALL!!

March 22: want you to know that I still support the concept of no age discrimination and will continue to mention my perspective whenever the opportunity arises.

Feb 7, 2002: The lack of value that PC places on his employees astounds me

Dec 14: I was wondering, as an institution supported strongly by the U.S. Embassy, doesn't the school have ANY responsibility to abide by U.S. laws that forbid age discrimination?
