What were we thinking? It also acknowledges an undermining of its dues-paying members, disregarding member input. It also acknowledges the existence of rubber rooms, in spite of a decision to dissolve them. It also acknowledges the selling out of all teachers. It also acknowledges not having a contract, and that at the next contract negotioations, we will demand retroactive pay and a 4% plus 4% increase over the last contract as per pattern bargaining. The UFT will ask for the Danielson Framework and all ties to teacher evaluation to cease and desist immediately. The UFT will ask its members for forgiveness, even though we will not get it from its members. The UFT will demand a shift of the Unity caucus to the MORE caucus, a teacher-friendly and rational group of citizens.<br />Resolved, the current UFT president, Micheal Mulgrew, will step down immediately, having corrupted and undermined a supportive agenda for its members.From Under The Busnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-75738900902915394212013-10-09T05:47:30.451-04:002013-10-09T05:47:30.451-04:00Just another sickening example of how the UFT cont...Just another sickening example of how the UFT continues to sell out it's members. In my 15+ years as a UFT member, I have never been more ashamed of my once great union. It disgusts me how they are Hell bent on destroying the teaching career here in NYC. Now that teachers are actually going to canned due to this, maybe teachers will wake up and see what this beast truly is: a creation by the very union that is there to protect them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-76635841720592394102013-10-09T05:27:01.433-04:002013-10-09T05:27:01.433-04:00As usual, dissembling and misdirection from 52 Bro...As usual, dissembling and misdirection from 52 Broadway: having signed on with the so-called reformers for the "opportunity" to co-manage this train wreck, Mulgrew now offers these empty calories to an increasingly dissatisfied memberships.<br /><br />Wake me up when they actively resist Race to the Top and the Common Corporate Standards.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.com
