UFT ELECTION FACTS

Ballots for the UFT election were mailed out yesterday. Here are the numbers for each division:


·        The total number of ballots that were printed and mailed is 189,469
o   Elementary: 35, 606
o   JHS: 11,197
o   HS (Academic/CTE): 19,539
o   Functional Chapters: 46, 731
o   Retiree: 62,991

If we want to change the union, here is what we need to do:
  • Mark an [X] in the MORE-NEW ACTION box to vote for our entire slate of candidates
  • Tear off the front page of the ballot
  • Place the ballot in the secret ballot envelope
  • Place the envelope in the outer postage paid envelope
  • Seal it all and drop it in a mailbox.
Then spread the word to everyone you know to vote MORE-NEW ACTION. It is a monumental task to reach close to 200,000 members.

Please note that one can vote for multiple candidates from multiple caucuses if one chooses candidates independently.

Why bother? It is a waste of effort splitting a ballot. We need change. Only way to get it is with entire MORE -NEW ACTION slate.

I think MORE/New Action is going to see many more votes
So many teachers pissed off at Unity

Because its 3 way, Unity wins. Solidarity and More will split leaving Unity as winners...Needed to be 1 on 1.

Solidarity has no slate. So they won't be getting many votes

Nor do they deserve any votes.
