End of day, Mulgrew who should not even be allowed to run again, garnered 70% still. Maybe would have been 60-40% if the politics between the Eterno house wasn't on the wrong side of history.<br /><br />James would always hate the "let's all pull dues to show how much we despise Mulgrew." After this election not many at all would pull.

If UFT members can’t be bothered to vote, it’s on them. Voting in the UFT elections is not a difficult task. Let’s stop coddling those who are clueless and don’t know they’re part of a union that has elections. It’s members’ responsibility to be informed.

Look at the ...People vote when they are motivated. Look at the 2020 election. Both sides were motivated and record numbers came out. Look at off national election years, no one shows up. The fact that retirees came out in huge numbers means something motivated them and it makes sense to believe Medicare was the reason. That's a huge plus for UFC especially since more than half of the votes are affected retirees. I am not sure the current workforce were that motivated which shifts their votes to Unity. <br /><br />If half the retirees went UFC that makes it a max of 74% total vote unity. That's a big dent and requires every other vote to go Unity's way. I think retiree vote is higher for UFC maybe 60% which put it's at 68% if all other votes went Unity's way. If retiree vote completely abandons Unity watch out. <br /><br />I think this is closer than people think and I am starting to think UFC is in this more than people ever thought.

His plan worked and this will more than likely be the election playbook for Unity for years to come. Unity no longer has to fear a threat from any opposition group from now on. Sad, but it seems very true. Teachers are either happy with the way things are going since they did not vote or they don't care. Either of which is proof that Unity will roll with the ball as business as usual.

It would be helpful if 9:39 told us why he voted for Unity. The sole reason I voted for UFC is Medicare Advantage. Mulgrew doesn’t get my vote until Unity protects or improves upon our current medical plans. And don’t bullshit me, Unity, that Med Adv is good. It’s not and never will be so stop your gaslighting bullshit…we are not buying it.
