I remember numerous DAs where Randi and the Unity faithful would criticize people for trying to bind her hands. Now apparently she wants to be completely bound when it comes to extended time. Where was she last year? Now we know that Unity is planning brand new givebacks for the next contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-1146630878662781022006-05-03T00:34:00.000-04:002006-05-03T00:34:00.000-04:00Yes UFT Members beware!An HS (ICE) Ex.

However, many teachers who voted for this last contract are now disgusted now with our leadership. Unfortunately, and fortunate for Randi, no one is stepping up to the plate to replace her.<BR/><BR/>Unity will do more to drive good teachers out of the city than the DOE. Principals are now being appointed by Leadership, and they can do no wrong in Klein's eyes even when they do stupid things. These principals will have nothing to do with the CSA. So both unions will be meaningless in the years to come. If Unity thinks Democrats will save the day, think again. Once concessions are made, no Dem wants to look weak, especially if they have higher ambitions. Randi is hoping Hillary will save her. She would rather deal with long shots than take strong stands.<BR/><BR/>Randi has already added a sad footnote to the union movement. How ironic she stands with TWA when she herself was afraid to face jail and used the Taylor Law to put fear into the rank and file in order to save her own skin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
