Also, there will be no discussion of year 5 with no raise, at least until after the election. And the notion of the UFT hiring lawyers is off the table too, at least until after we at 52 Broadway get a raise.

But they are NOT UFT lawyers, they're NYSUT lawyers. I always wondered why this would be the case. I just recently learned that the UFT doesn't actually employ lawyers for defense of its members, lest the union wind up being sued for unfavorable outcomes. Given what I've seen in some of the cases I've watched, they maybe have good reason to worry.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-7002925661108063572013-04-19T14:41:44.914-04:002013-04-19T14:41:44.914-04:00Just making sure I understand Mulgrew and Unity/Ne...Just making sure I understand Mulgrew and Unity/New Actions positions on a few issues. We should be ok with 6% or in real terms thousands of teachers being rated ineffective? I’m uncertain of the exact numbers but aren’t there something like 70,000 teachers, 6% is 4200 teachers. Question to Unity/New Action do you really believe that there are that many ineffective teachers?? Second, with all the dues you collect you can only afford 3 lawyers? Maybe you guys can cut back on the perks a little and hire a few more lawyers to help out in the primary purpose of a union, defending the rights of it’s members.

Cuomo is breaking the Triborough Amendment by imposing his own evaluation when according to the law, our current evaluation which is in our contract must stay in place until a new evaluation is VOTED AND AGREED TO by the rank and file. His imposing this new evaluation will set major labor precedence that he can simply change legally binding contracts at the drop of a hat. Labor unions can be destroyed by this fact. The UFT should be gearing up for a lawsuit if a new evaluation is imposed on us that is not attached to a contract. (And if a new evaluation is attached to a contract and voted down by the rank and file, it should not be binding) We pay big bucks for UFT dues and it seems to me when need a lot more than 3 lawyers to fight this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-47020368587675225082013-04-19T05:16:35.762-04:002013-04-19T05:16:35.762-04:00Julie takes a stand to back movement against high ...Julie takes a stand to back movement against high stakes tests.
