I want to chime in that currently in Michigan, substitute teachers can make up to $100-$200 per day through EduStaff (temp agency), however they do not get to unionize, no insurance or sick days, or benefits, plus they can can reassigned last minute. My partner had $100 worth of labor stolen from their last paycheck too, and a labyrinthine process to complain about it. The requirements are a bachelor's degree (though many from other fields with Masters degrees work as subs).

We've gotten into it with 'professional' certified teachers about who's more "valueable" (them or subs), but, I think it's divisive thinking. Both types of educators need to be on the same team and boost eachother up.

This is an email my partner wrote back to EduStaff.

My partner originally wrote to EduStaff when they finally got paid but saw they were paid $100 less for that day.
Apparently partner's position and pay code was secretly changed by EduStaff without their knowing about it.

So, update.

My partner sent EduStaff a screenshot of the pay code and assignment EduStaff switched without informing my partner.

The screenshot was of a past assignment from December that was the same classroom, same school, and had the $200 pay code, but was switched to a lower pay code in June AFTER my partner had already accepted the assignment, which was deceptive on EduStaff's part, because my partner had they known, would've cancelled that assignment and chose the one with the $200 pay code.

This is EduStaff's 'defense' 🙃

They said my partner was "overpaid"

Apparently, temp agencies can go back in and switch things up to support their gaslighting of substitute teachers who keep receipts

Mutual Aid Request

Hello everyone.

This month of June has already been off to a really rocky start. Paychecks that were supposed to come, didn't, illnesses, and delayed assistance has put us in a financial bind.

FORTUNATELY we can pay rent, and the van payment, car insurance and utilities, but we may not have enough for medical supplies and essentials for this month.

My PayPal is not working for some reason and I can't accept monetary donations. My family does have an Amazon wish list though!

These are the items we really need for this month. Anything helps.

Tia for any help/circulation any one can do for us 🙏🌻💜
