I wonder with whom? In fact, I wonder who could possibly take them seriously? The Icicles there have decided that a contract following the pattern, with no erosion in work rules, boosting our top salary near $100,000 and providing a bridge to get past the Bloomberg/Klein era is worthy of picketing and protesting. This kind of silliness just proves that the nutters on this website do not have the best interests of UFT members in mind. Instead of criticizing, complaining and fantasizing, ICE should be thinking of ways to thank Randi Weingarten for her hard work and negotiating skill if she can pull this off for usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-1162604238994755582006-11-03T20:37:00.000-05:002006-11-03T20:37:00.000-05:00It's interesting that Unity hacks need to put word...It's interesting that Unity hacks need to put words in the mouth of James Eterno to make their arguments.

Even if there's no picketing people might go and sit in the visitors section to make their wishes known and provide a counter to the Unity machine.<BR/><BR/>Picketing at the Hilton would force people outside and there are a number of entrances. If people want to picket a DA they might want to consider doing it at one at UFT HQ. <BR/>Unless they make this location permanent. They used to hold the meetings at Fashion Industries on 24th st and that seemed to work fine.<BR/><BR/>Remember how Unity dropped the ball at the Oct. DA -- the most crowded of the year where they tried to cram almost 1200 people into a room that maxes out at 850 or so - and they used the concept of having DA's at union HQ as a selling point for buying the buildings. While I facetiously posted on the Ednotes Online blog that they were out to drive independents away, I really think in this case they were just not paying attention, which is astounding. But they are preoccuppied with creating spins for everything.<BR/><BR/>They immediately sent out a letter of apology and will hold the meeting at the Hilton (too bad it's not at the Bklyn Marriott where the macadamia nut cookies are awesome.)<BR/>NormAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-1162436870440362852006-11-01T22:07:00.000-05:002006-11-01T22:07:00.000-05:00I am interested in picketing the DA assembly over ...I am interested in picketing the DA assembly over the contractAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-1162436589721268812006-11-01T22:03:00.000-05:002006-11-01T22:03:00.000-05:00some teachers in my school expressed an interest i...some teachers in my school expressed an interest in picketing the next D.A. to demand that the chapter's be able to discuss the non-economic demands. they were very upset that they were not able to discuss these demands. they were also upset that class size is not being discussed, regardless of that survey that as far as i can tell, few teachers participated in. what do other people think? any interest in picketing the next or future DAs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-1162423015893181802006-11-01T18:16:00.000-05:002006-11-01T18:16:00.000-05:00I brought this up at our chapter meeting today.
