The MEA congratulates Kim Murray on her retirement! Mrs. Murray has touched so many lives in her 24 + years in Milltown as a social worker and most recently as school counselor. Kim has been a kind, compassionate educator who always advocated for mental health - her message has never changed:

“In a world where you can be anything, be kind.
Violence is never the answer,
Take care of and stand up for each other and yourself,
There is no health without mental health, You matter in this world, and You are not alone”

We wish her all the best in her next chapter!

"No whammy's today at Milltown Day!!"

We had such a blast at Milltown Day! Families stopped by our booth to play the Human Teacher Slot Machine — where plenty of kids and parents struck it BIG with prizes, laughs, and smiles.

It was wonderful connecting with our community, celebrating education, and sharing in the fun. Thank you to everyone who came out to support and play! ❤🤍

“Having fun with the Teacher Slot Machine — where everyone’s a winner when you strike it big!”

This was copied from one of our member's personal page with their permission. Please take a moment to read and join the petition. Most of our local teachers and school staff fall into these pension tiers.
Thank you 💙 MEA

I normally don't post stuff like this but this is important and directly affects me and so many others! I am Tier 5.. and it sucks! When I chose my career and headed to college there was only TIER 1! By the time I graduated there were 5.... each worse and more unfair then the last.. see attached info-graphic.

SOOOOO....... Please take a minute to sign up, it is just a few clicks the hard part is filled out for you!

🚨Help fix the NJ Pension Crisis!🚨

Some Facts about Tier 5:
- Tiering of pensions began in 2007 and by 2011, Tier 5 was introduced.
- Tier 5 employees pay $15 dollars to every $1 dollar the state contributes.
- Retirement age is 65 for Tier 5 members and we get a 3% penalty per year if we choose to retire early... so if we retire at 55 like generations before us... we lose 30% of our pension THAT WE PAID basically 94% of to begin with!

These are just SOME of the problems.

This is one of the main reasons NJ teachers and staff are leaving mid-career causing a staffing crisis and hurting our schools!

The system is broken, and it's time to demand change. We deserve fair pensions and secure retirements! 💪💼

Thanks in advance for reading and signing up ♡

Our pension systems are inequitable, fragmented and no longer provide incentive for newer educators to stay in the profession or for potential educators to join the profession in the first
