As far as schools are concerned, Art Chang was tops. Being a relative unknown, he was obviously removed by leadership as a non-viable candidate. But I hope we see him active in the public sphere in the future. He is a valuable ally for our kids and staff. I think the union officers are looking to stand Yang up against some other possibly viable candidates, and show him for what he really is. He cannot get away with changing his story at every stop the way he has been doing all along. I hope the leadership gets it right! (And I would happily offer him a one-way Uber back to exurbia.)<br />Also looking forward to the comptroller endorsement. They preselected three, and I found two candidates I would trust with our pension system.<br /><br />James, you seem to be exerting more control over people who wander off topic. It certainly improves the conversations you aim to foster.

My one vote changes nothing. You act like the ckntract or election are 51%-49%. 2014 got 80%. Mulgrew last got 86%. It isn't about $1500.

You would need at least 10 percent of the membership to stop paying dues for the UFT to notice. A few hundred or so is ineffective. Also, people are afraid that if they get a 3020 that the union won't back them up. Why don't you people start rallying other UFT members to stop paying dues instead of just mentioning it on a blog.

Don't you guys realize you can't do anything? But keep taking the abuse while paying $1500. Enjoy paying a double payment in July on retro day. Teachers ain't smart. Won't opt out. Won't walk out.

Not shocked at the final 4.<br /><br />I actually really liked Art Chang during his interview. He was a real person who was active in his kid’s public school— SLT even!! He would never be elected because he isn’t know but he came off very well. <br /><br />I don’t know where Scott Stringer is in all this, but he seemed like he would be the best for public school teachers and students. I also think he would do well for all NYCers. He is one and he has worked his way up the ranks. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
