No one can trust them to do anything correctly, especially if it’s important. I’m not going back inside a school until September, when there may be some kind of empirical evidence from the folks like you who choose to be defacto lab rats for Mulgrew and deBlasio. I certainly don’t wish anything bad to happen to you or anyone. But just because you or Mulgrew or deBlasio feel it’s safe doesn't make it safe; and just because many people are fed up with living like this doesn’t mean this is over. I make my own decisions, same as you. Many have an accommodation for the rest of the year and plan on using it. No one is rushing back into those buildings, including kids. The New York Times is reporting tens of thousands of students will go back based on deBlasio‘s comments to them. Very, very poor reporting from the New York Times. They should have reported tens of thousands students will not be going back because Bill deBlasio said they would.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-79167500983366011752021-04-09T06:17:31.965-04:002021-04-09T06:17:31.965-04:00.00167% of vaccinated people died after getting va....00167% of vaccinated people died after getting vaccine. This doesn’t mean the vaccine killed them. It just means some people died sometime after being vaccinated. Even if all died from the vaccine, is .00167% alarming? No it is not. The goal is not to die from COVID or not become ill enough to be hospitalized. If the goal has now changed to no one can ever feel sick, I’m out. Enough is enough. Time to open.

Did you have holiday gatherings in the winter? Are you traveling this summer? <br /><br />The world is reopening and this is a good thing in my mind. <br /><br />Choices are simple: stay home and listen to fauci and cdc 24/7 or live your life. <br /><br />I choose to live my life. <br /><br />Ps, I traveled last week, wore masks in and out of the plane on an international flight and tested before, during and after. No covid. I was cautious. <br /><br />My point is that life is happening and that’s good.

We'd need a majority in this action. Anything less wouldn't make a difference. But if you could organize such a thing, that it should be assumed that same mass of people could be organized to vote Untiy out. That would be the wiser move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-58921545749717763182021-04-08T15:22:22.832-04:002021-04-08T15:22:22.832-04:00Vote out any chapter leader who is in admin's ...Vote out any chapter leader who is in admin's pocket.

All the stimulus money from the government, plus taxing legalized marijuana, plus taxing sports betting, plus taxing the rich. There was no need for any of it. If deBlasio and Mulgrew start saying there has to be paid freezes, then teachers should just go ape shit on both of them. There should be no talk of any pay freezes; there should be substantial pay raises – something positive to keep people in this sham of a union. My medical co-pay is now 30 bucks - when was that agreed on by Mulgrew? Started out at nothing, then it went to $10, then $20 and now it’s $30. Someone told me Uft is in negotiations with the city to raise it to $50 a co-pay.

It hasn’t been since Randi made her deal with Bloomberg in 2005, promptly took a promotion and put Mulgrew in charge. The only way to get Randi and her appointed charge’s attention is by withholding dues. It just doesn’t make sense to pay to be treated like this. And it doesn’t matter what you or Shelly or I say - there will be many opting out this June unless, and this is a real possibility, Mulgrew pulls a unicorn out of his ass in the form of an early retirement incentive, ATR buyout or something that greatly alleviates the tortuous reality of what is now merely a disgusting job. There is no moral working class Catholic or Jewish guilt in remaining loyal to an organization that has facilitated that horrid transformation.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-89385662977643519412021-04-08T10:02:58.550-04:002021-04-08T10:02:58.550-04:00New agreement between
