CHIEF PODCAST ON BRIBE TO MAYOR

This Chief Leader podcast provides details on Mayor de Blasio's pay to play city government.

Interesting listening.

The mayor is plagued with corruption problems yet survives as the UFT 's buddy while our working conditions in the schools do not improve. It makes me think for sure.

  1. Makes you think what? That nothing will improves? We will get another bad contract? We will be abused by admin and students alike? We will do unpaid coverages? We will have 45 minute lunch but 60 minute instructional periods? We will get cursed and threatened? Its already happening. Awaiting a buyout.

  2. Chris Rock: “I want to live in a world where an equal amount of white kids are shot every month” he continued “I want to see white mothers on TV crying”. Come on James, turnabout is fair play, say how racist this is. I wonder if cnn, msnbc will report on this tonight. Could you imagine if a white person had said this about blacks?

  4. The buyouts are only for ATRs. Not happening without state legislation for the rest of us. You need to anonymously expose what is happening in your school to NY Post. Get it out there.

  6. At least comment on the posts that deal with race. We haven't shied away from the issue here as our BLM post shows but it would help if we stayed at least close to being on topic in the comments.

  7. With all my UFT dues, we couldn't send him a couple 100k to get better raises? The hundreds of millions the UFT gave away of members money in the last contract would've been worth a large bribe!

  8. I think we gave a big contribution to de Blasio's PAC and it didn't help. Mulgrew is never going to win an award from the Mensa society.

  9. Our money pales in comparison to the landlord lobby. And now that people are starting to make noise about housing, I fully expect de Blasio to try and deflect the public’s ire onto teachers. He won’t do squat about housing, so, he needs a boogeyman. He ran the gauntlet on the cops, riding that horse as far as he could. Now he’ll switch to teachers. He knows we hate him for that lousy contract (which he convinced the media was a giveaway). So, in his mind, he’s got nothing to lose. Expect him to team up with Errol Lewis and start talking about crappy teachers. If he can shift the headlines from NYCHA and the affordability crisis, he’ll do it.

    Oh, and he will give us paid maternity leave because that will sell to his Upper West Side and Park Slope base. What he won’t say is that he is going to shred our contract and force every guy to work extended day and extra preps to cover anyone on maternity leave. He’s no friend if working people. He loves identity politics and sucking up to rich landlords.
