If you want to change the Union, you need to get involved. Run for a position in your school this spring and be the change you want.
Send an email to your school Election Committee Chair by today to nominate yourself for Chapter Leader or Delegate. The deadline for nominations is today, April 19.
For details on what is involved, see our prior posting with a link to the workshop we helped Solidarity run.
Mayoral Endorsement
Also today, based on the scripted performance we observed from the Unity reps who came to the Educator's of NY discussion last evening, expect a totally staged Delegate Assembly today for the UFT's mayoral endorsement. Unity showed up in full force to talk at people, not with members. Unity will not allow last week's embarrassing political defeat to be repeated at today's special Delegate Assembly.
DOENUTS has a brilliant report on last night's Zoom event that includes all eight pages of the Unity talking points showing how exactly to talk down to us and not listen.
Deadline opt out?
ReplyDeleteIf the UFT endorses Scott Stringer this afternoon—then he should start preparing his concession speech tonight --because all initial UFT mayoral picks have been defeated since the Dinkins election back in 1989.
ReplyDeleteI don't care if the UFT endorsement is the kiss of death. There is no frigging way we could endorse Yang just because he is the leading candidate. He is no friend to us and he has made that fact crystal clear.
ReplyDeleteQUESTION: What happens if no teachers want to run for chapter leader or delegate? As of last Friday, nobody at our school has shown any interest.
ReplyDeleteWhoever volunteers today wins if nobody is nominated.
ReplyDeleteWhat if nobody volunteers today? (I do not want the position. I am too close to retirement and do not need the headaches and stress)
