My wife’s union does not seem to be as strong, she pays only ¼ of our dues, but gets pretty similar benefits, and her union is more focused on its core mission. Our union like a conglomerate deviates from its core task of protecting its members, our dues are getting lost for all these personal agendas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-47410931519367686882008-08-07T20:11:00.000-04:002008-08-07T20:11:00.000-04:00Norm is right; start serving vichysoise at the Exe...Norm is right; start serving vichysoise at the Executive Board for the collaborators.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-46527348654868265842008-08-07T18:01:00.000-04:002008-08-07T18:01:00.000-04:00Please vote and really encourage others to vote in...Please vote and really encourage others to vote in the next Union election.

We need to "light more candles" and so respectfully lead the way towards positive change for our educational environment. The deeper the darkness, the more our light will be seen. Let us not give up, for in the end light and truth shall prevail and we will turn this education system around for the betterment of our teachers, who work diligently to educate our children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-47356280117100827642008-08-06T07:13:00.000-04:002008-08-06T07:13:00.000-04:00Collaborator!!!Collaborator!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-37284441694961235102008-08-05T14:55:00.000-04:002008-08-05T14:55:00.000-04:00Randi is such an asshole!Sincerely Randi we meant ...Randi is such an asshole!<BR/><BR/>Sincerely Randi we meant it<BR/><BR/>All of the people that your dues harvesting operation afectsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-9062235849407905412008-08-05T14:45:00.000-04:002008-08-05T14:45:00.000-04:00Thanks, Randi, for your honesty.Thanks, Randi, for your honesty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-79688133475784518722008-08-05T14:41:00.000-04:002008-08-05T14:41:00.000-04:00More from Randi on collaboration with Bloom-Klein....More from Randi on collaboration with Bloom-Klein.
