Look at Cuomo's plan. We need to mobilize everything we have to block it. NYSUT' s new leadership is going to be tested.

We do not want to go the way of California' Vergara case. We know that tenure, unlike what the media would like folks to believe, is due process plain and simple. That the case will be tried in New York City is a coup because the UFT's lawyers will never let us lose this hard won right. Those in Albany who worry about not jettisoning enough bad teachers ought to worry about keeping good ones. People do not go into public education to get rich, but without due process we would stand to lose even more talented professionals.Docwashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925857414402582836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-72970540326209354922015-01-03T06:51:13.745-05:002015-01-03T06:51:13.745-05:00How about letting us pick our NYSUT leadership at ...How about letting us pick our NYSUT leadership at the school level instead of at large.

This benefits those in power, union and city. The game the union plays is completely apparent. So the result for many of us is to bang our heads against the wall or sit on our hands quietly waiting.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-26208327281044983982015-01-02T12:53:36.676-05:002015-01-02T12:53:36.676-05:00None of you are political people, for you want to ...None of you are political people, for you want to destroy regimes that have benefited you, but your historical memories are in question. The new leadership, which is always accomplished by any means necessary becomes a toxic clone of the defeated. I know what I have, but fear what the agenda would be in that change in leadership.

They certainly mobilized a march against the police quickly and effectively (using texts and emails). This could have been a real opportunity to show Cuomo our strength,but it showed the opposite.

Pallotta was at the protest to its entirety and he spoke himself. I have many photos from this protest to prove this. The fact that he did get an invite was a joke to many since none of us else did.Pallotta did not take it seriously and since there was still many of us around, he said he would still call Cuomo out to meet us. Any further questions, please feel free to ask.

They pretend to have our interests in mind, that is how the game is played. But in reality, they are only there to serve themselves. This was proven with Mulgrew giving Diblasio a sweetheart deal, and both of them screwing the entire NYC labor force.<br />And to think we HAVE TO pay $100 a month in union dues for this garbage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-764391524721551152015-01-02T05:39:33.330-05:002015-01-02T05:39:33.330-05:00What do you mean?
