Including where I thought where ICE/TJC could learn from them what were the main issues for UFT members. This post says "Can Randi Bite the Board of Ed Hand that Improperly Granted Her State Certification". That to me is a personal attack on Randi's livelihood as others has said on this blog posting. I'm looking for a strong UFT. I don't care much about salaries as much as I care about who is going to do the right thing for this Union. That's to me is just being practical. Just like a ICE post made by a ICE leader who says when they agree with Unity they support their actions and when they disagreed with them they criticize them. I reserve the same right to criticize ICE and UTP if necessary. This post is plain ugly. It is also to me an indication of how the opposition would fight if they ran the Union. UTP criticizes everybody, they are not running for election as a party. They act as " Snake Head" has described as a 'watchdog group' for the UFT and that is really cool with me. They give comic relief to all of us in the trenches. I'm not for anarchy and sometimes I see the ICE/TJC coalition as bent on winning at any cost including possibly at the expense of weakening of the UFT. This isn't a real war this is a election. Unity really needs to change and I think we will all see those changes. Am I a Unity supporter - no. The UFT comes first to me, partisan politics runs a poor second.JustdaTruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05714978885742437251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-45488575748799770742007-03-11T16:26:00.000-04:002007-03-11T16:26:00.000-04:00JUST DA TRUTH agrees when UTP criticizes Randi.

I really don't think the top of your ticket has "the right stuff" to oppose someone as tricky as Bloomberg/Klein. Just "throwing stones" doesn't mean you're responsible enough to run the UFT. I think your slate may be useful in making improvements in our union however this type of a personal attack to me is really embarrassing.

Just think about it, if by some (obviously very big) miracle your candidate was to be elected president, how would you run this union? Where would you find the expertise, not to mention the personnel, to run the Salary, Certification, Health, Safety, Welfare, Pension, Grievance and other Departments? Where would you find District and Borough Representatives who know the players both within and outside the schools? In actuality, nothing could be worse for the teachers in NYC, and better for Bloomberg and Klein, than for you guys to get control of the UFT. In a very short time, the entire union would grind to a screeching, horrible halt. And for those of us in the trenches, nothing could be worse.
