Lawsuit seeks to end practice of paying teachers union president while not teaching

EAG: ALLENTOWN, Pa. – A former Allentown School Board member is suing the district, the local teacher’s union, and the state school employee retirement system over what’s known as “union release time.”

Like many large school districts, the Allentown School District covers the full salary, benefits and retirement costs for Allentown Education Association union president Debbie Tretter, who works full time for the teacher’s union, The Morning Call reports.

Tretter’s salary alone is $81,608 a year, and the district has covered that expense as well as benefits for the union president for more than 25 years, totaling more than $1.3 million with interest.
