Guam Federation of Teachers president Matt Rector says the union will take the Guam Public School System to court soon because the agency is not fairly compensating its teachers for extra days worked. GPSS maintains that teachers at the Maria Ulloa and Ordot-Chalan Pago elementary schools are not working extra instructional days. Therefore, they are not to get paid more.

Rector disagrees, saying their attempt to get teachers to work is illegal. He tells KUAM News that they plan to file as early as tomorrow, saying, "We should be ready to file, and I believe we will file."
