Yes, it takes only one person to make a difference. Tell all the people who died from it and lost families that it's only a 3 day cold.

1059. Not disgusting at all. That is called power. Organized worker power. Something our union, and, based on your words, you are afraid of. I applaud them. It is proof of what a well organized chapter and, in total, a well organized union could be.

Anonymous said...

Proof that a strike is the most powerful tool a coalition of workers can use against its employer. Too bad our union leadership supports an unconstitutional law that criminalizes a strike. We could be doing so much more, and so much better, if we vote for change. Vote for UFC.

1059. I see only one coward here. A coward scared of workers uniting and creating change.

I can 100% guarantee that SCI will investigate those teachers who organized this. Those teachers who lead this are going to be in serious trouble.

10:59-What about the breakthrough cases? Fully vax and hospitalized for 2 weeks? Families with underlining conditions??
What about the parents of very young children-They can bring it home to them-Our families lives matter too.

We have the right to be safe and not have to justify it with you.

The fact is the waiver system is not working. It is not protecting us. Parents check, no.no but send their children to school on medication to "hide" their fevers at the door temperature check. Only to have it wear off in a few hours and the students will tell you they took medicine before school and need more. -Students are supposed to be fever free for 24 hours without medication before returning.

They also come with runny noses, coughs, that aren't apparent because of the mask until they come to the classroom. At this point we have all been exposed.

SO when Biden says "schools need to be open, children need to be in school" Yes, but only healthy children should be in school.

We have the right to demand this. At home tests will be the same. Parents will lie or not test correctly to ensure they can drop their kids off at school. There needs to be a distiction also between child care and getting an education. We are teacher who are doing double duty as babysitters for sick kids. This has to change.

Sick kids do not belong in school. The wavier is failing to protect us and the healthy students whose parents actually read the waiver and follow it.

8:52am-It is the DOE who should be in trouble for their failure to effectively manage the situation room and provide information to staff, parents and families in a timely manner.

It is also the failure of Mike Mulgrew to grow some ball for once and protect his members.
Sending an email that shows his plan is to piggyback what many district are already planning to do in January is not leadership. It shows his inability to be the leader of the largest teachers union in the country. He is only saying we will not go back in person in January because he knows charters and other districts are already do it so we are not asking for much and parents will want it.

Mulgrew failed again to protect members now so this school took charge. MULGREW SHOULD HAVE PROTECTED THEM if he had they would not have had to advocate for themselves. Good for them. They are the example we all need to follow. We need change now. Our profession in nYC will die off if we leave Mulgrew in charge.

I don't think NY state law permits retaliations against any teachers for their effort of organizing movements. Teachers can only be in trouble if they miss their job expectations or
bad behaviors like having unacceptable relationships with students.


Anonymous said...

852. If so, we must unite to protect them. That is what a union should do, but we know leadership/Unity will not do that.

Anonymous said...

The parents at that school are probably having a shit fit today and it is justified. A bunch of teachers refuse to go to school and now the parents gotta deal with their kids today. Heads are gonna roll at that school.

These teachers are lowlives. Justifies all the hatred of teachers unions. Most hated group in US. But this blog always acts like it's the heyday of unionism and we can easily pull any string. James is naive and a dreamer and his wife would lead the uft onto the rocks. I'm voting for Mulgrew.

Anonymous said...

NYS law prohibits job actions by public sector unions. What these teachers did was indeed a job action. The fact is these teachers refused to go to their assigned post and report for duty. They can indeed "get in trouble" for this and they probably will.

Anonymous said...

The staff at this school are awesome. The lead person shd actually take over for Mulgrew!!!!!! At least Mulgrew shd meet with this person to discuss how they accomplished this. He could learn something.

Anonymous said...

This technically wasn't a job action since it wasn't organized by the UFT. Regardless, the principals will take it out on their observations.

Yup, these teachers totally just did this so they can teach from home. Because teaching from home is definitely such a super awesome amazing experience. I'm sure they definitely didn't do it to to protect the lives of the students, students' families, and their own lives and families. Definitely not that. Such low lives. Yuck.

Anonymous said...

1116. when the opposite is the reality.. if it was the heyday for Unions, we wouldn't have these problems or be in this struggle. those teachers were brave, courageous, and the type of spirited union members that we desperately need to save our failing union. Workers will always be hated and exploited in the US unless we fight against the systems that exploit us. That is what those teachers did. They fought a real fight with more than words. They used collective action. If you think that is low, then you are on the side of those that exploit us, and hate us. and so it is no wonder you would support a weak leader that refuses to do anything to empower us. Im voting for strength. Im voting for change. UFC. United for Change.

Anonymous said...

1123. Yes it does. And what they did is also a right protected by the US constitution. The NY law is the thing that should not be. Those teachers expressed the freedom, and worker empowerment that this country claims to stand for. Bravo to them! The fact is anyone that disagrees with such action is anti-worker, anti-union, and anti-freedom.

Anonymous said...

9:39.that is awful and selfish of those parents.there needs to a clause that informs patents that if they pull that crap, their child will be put on remote and not allowed in.i still cannot believe that parents do this.they have covid parties and send the sick kid to school.let them go to charter school where they hopefully deal with that mess.
We will never be unified because some people here act like attack dogs.Divided we fall...
I bet Sci won't investigate cuz it wasn't widespread.if a nasty admin asks them to, maybe...
Mulgrew was silent for weeks.He didn't even try to improve testing, etc.he spoke up at the last min. After the fox left the henhouse.where is Albert Shanker?? We need his clone.

Anonymous said...

12:30-It is very selfish and results in numerous sick students and teachers. Mulgrew can not think for himself. He is a follow at best certainly not a leader. He just knows how to bend over for Debozo and the chancellor. He couldn't handle Debozo imagine he will knee pads when Adams comes into office.

Mulgrew should do us all a favor and just admit he cannot do this job. Make way for new leadership. Let's have his team return to the classrooms and terrible conditions we work under daily.

Anonymous said...

"NYS law prohibits job actions by public sector unions" Not when it involves protecting your health during an outbreak. The State wouldn't dare try it. ESPECIALLY when their systems are broken.

They paid for an entire testing crew to come into an infected school, couldn't test the kids because most they were quarantining and refused to test the teachers who hadn't given "prior consent". Teachers stood on line on their own time, for HOURS in the cold and rain on the weekend to get a test with results hung up in limbo somewhere. What kind of idiot or sociopath would condemn any group for wanting a safe environment.

Anonymous said...

This doesn't fall under any thread, so a bit off topic:did you know if you have zero signs of illness, take a covid test to travel, it tests positive and subsequent tests are negative, THE GOVERNMENT will cancel your plane ticket!numerous neg tests will not override!THIS IS INSANITY!now contrast to DOE covid policy!
Wtf is going on?

I'm a teacher. I don't think that. But we are almost universally despised. If you saw the article in the Times about Randi a few days ago. The comments were shocking. Pure hatred of us. And that's Times readers.

Of course James promotes this, if mass teachers were fighting against vax mandate James would care less.. oh right that already happened. Now the vax are getting covid or the flu like crazy.

Go take a flu test. Omicron is as weak as your scary delta. Never seen the fear mongering which James has seriously been promoting

Do us a favor and stop calling cnn by that name please call it the sick pedo network. Everyone watching or linking articles have terrible judgement. Tapper and Cuomo producers plus more, 80% you watch this. Wouldn't be surprised if @waitingforsupport has tapper or cuomo as there media heroes.

What a bunch of cowards. Way to have parents make last minute plans for their kids. The amount of teachers who WANT to teach from is pathetic. Maybe if we go remote teachers should have to report to the building. Can’t go wrong there. Teachers can isolate themselves in their rooms and be “safe.” Why is everyone freaking out over Omicron when the CDC says that if you get it, it’s almost a good thing because then you will be (their term) “super immune.”

(CNN)Former President Donald Trump pushed back on a questioner's skepticism about the effectiveness and safety of the Covid-19 vaccine in a new interview, saying that the "vaccine works" and "people aren't dying when they take the vaccine."

"Look, the results of the vaccine are very good, and if you do get (Covid), it's a very minor form. People aren't dying when they take the vaccine," he said in an interview with The Daily Wire's Candace Owens that was released Tuesday.

When Owens began raising doubt about the vaccine efficacy, Trump interjected, saying, "Well, no, the vaccine works."

Anonymous said...

It's shameful for those who say that covid is no big deal. Sure, most cases are mild, but some are terrible and even deadly.

Omicron is very highly transmissible and some do die from it. I don't blame those teachers for putting everyone's health first, especially before a long break. Wasn't the school system in the same position in March 2020?

Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

@6:45 what in value have you brought to the table? I nailed plenty even going back to snow days being gone (which James mentioned and gave me cred in his future story), ivermectin/hydroxy, ways to use vocational schools correctly, using dues as leverage against uft, calling out all you hypocrites on the bullshit you listen to and brainwashed from.

James he also said there should be a choice not like your butt buddy Biden who is a commy china pathetic leader.

Trump is not going to say the vaccines suck or will give you myocarditis. Without Trump getting the vaccines, the global elites were going to lock us down for years and destroy economy and life as we know it.

Anonymous said...

Stuff it Anon2323. We got the vaccine DESPITE Trump and he didn't have a clue how to get it into the arms of the people because he was too busy planning a COUP. The ONLY reason that Trump is touting the vaccine on a regular basis now is because there are enough DEAD PEOPLE to equal the number that died under his leadership, or lack thereof. He's ok telling people to get the vaccine now because no one can say that under Biden people less people died.

James Eterno said...

Trump is taking credit for the vaccines, Anon 2323.

You broke one of our basic rules on promoting certain medications that are unproven against COVID-19 but I am in the Christmas spirit so I put it through.

I will let the South Carolina (not exactly a liberal state) Health Department do the rebuttal:

https://scdhec.gov/covid19/dangers-using-hydroxychloroquine-ivermectin-preventing-or-treating-covid-19
In South Carolina, there has been an increase in people needing care in an emergency department for ivermectin and HCQ exposure in 2021. Reports from the poison control hotline confirm an increase in visits for HCQ exposure.

Adequate clinical trials have not been done to prove ivermectin is effective to treat or prevent COVID-19. Small studies show it has no medical benefit, and there is not enough evidence to recommend ivermectin as a COVID-19 treatment. Effective treatments for COVID-19 are available on CDC’s website.


The dangers of using hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)
High quality research data show the use of HCQ for treating COVID-19 can be dangerous and has no medical benefit. In fact, the FDA has revoked emergency use authorization for HCQ in COVID-19 patients based on these dangers and because it does not help people recover faster.
HCQ should not be taken for COVID-19 infection because it can cause serious heart rhythm abnormalities, severe liver inflammation, and kidney failure.
Taking HCQ on your own outside the hospital is dangerous.
Prevent COVID-19 by getting vaccinated

CNN:Corrupt Naughty Network

Do you guys see that these cases are not a few breakthrough cases, as was promoted?now they can't conceal the truth anymore.they said vax would prevent covid.now they changed the dictionary definition of the word vaccine because the jab did not fit the criteria(they were called out about this.It is gene therapy.)
The case explosion, if indeed they are symptomatic,shows the shot does not prevent illness.they lied and keep changing the rhetoric.even one of their scientists cautioned against a 4th jab due to its possible effects on the immune system.
Perhaps more are getting sick now because the shots weakened the immune system.i don't know if it is really omicron or if it is just as stated:people are more susceptible now plus people loosened restrictiobs.not to mention the ones they flew(sneaked) in at night from the border without covid vetting).
What will it take to wake people up??
Fauci has a nerve to say RFK is disturbed considering how many people's suffering he is directly responsible for.google his sick tortuous deadly experiments on beagles and his research on orphans with HIV drugs.nobody could speak for them.they were wards of the gov as they were orphans.and this is who we should trust?

Anonymous said...

Now to start another fight!lol
Re the orphans.alrhough I am against using fetal cells in vaccines, I think for those orphans tortured, it would have been kinder to them if they had never been born.that is how sick fauci is.he is top dog.our world is in serious trouble.hope the messiah is immunent!days are dark.sorry to put a damper on a holiday.it wasn't my intention.but until people wake up and speak up, I fear we are descending deeper into...
We need to harness the power of light to be kinder and stand up to injustice.stand for truth.bob marley:get up stand up for your rights(and those of others)
Hope everyone has a peaceful vacation.

Keep on taking the shots for life if it makes you happy.i won't cry for you later cuz we told you so!(it's OK if you think they same way about anon2323 and me and the educated few who do their hw).just stop blaming us for cases.i stay home so I am not a problem..

anon, you mean Trump isn't the only pedo with media connections? wow. that's shocking and valuable information. remove dues to weaken more our already weak union, and putting members that follow that advice at risk, albeit limited, but at risk none the less. yup, that'll help us. push meds that could cause more harm than good, what does that help? brainwashed, yet sourcing project veritas hahahaha. you can use a different source for that highly circulated story. heck even crappy cnn self reported on it. but no,
you gotta promote your own brand of garbage. that's what you bring, just a different brand of garbage. which, you know, is hypocrisy. but, that's an easy jab, because calling out hypocrisy is like catching someone breathing. fight a real fight. call for supporting the opposition within our union. call for universal health care to make sure people are more healthy. call out the lack of international solidarity that keeps proven effective treatment (see Cuba again) out of the hands of Americans leaving them to take their risks with what you suggest.

Anonymous said...

anon. the two drugs you suggest still have a lot of trials to go through. we also have a problem in the US with education regarding healthcare and access to healthcare. a lot of people began to self medicate, and others were buying ivermectin from pet stores instead of the version meant for humans. overseas though, other countries, South Africa and Cuba to name a few, have been using a drug (interferon alpha-2b), to treat Covid that doesn't have the same potential for side effects as those other two. why don't any of our leaders or media acknowledge that? because both trump and biden have financial ties to the pharma companies that push the vaccines and hydroxy. care to bring that valuable truth to the table, or do you need an extreme right wing source to tell you it is okay first?

congrats on snow days. let's all applaud broken clocks also.

A major issue—currently in the NY Metro Region continues to be the lack of a preparation for testing—despite promises made by Biden, Cuomo/Hockel and DeBlasio. Lack of testing sites, long lines is unacceptable and promises of more sites opening in the next few weeks—is an embarrassment and no wonder why people question the political authorities. The excuse ‘that we didn’t see this coming’ and the pledge of distributing millions and millions of test kits over the next month—-is great—but a little late. This variant became a major concern with warnings—about 6 weeks ago.

In addition, the protocols of 10 days quarantines/isolation are under siege by the big time business of Professional Sports. Several players are positive and out—and is hurting their bottom line—money. Wouldn’t be surprised if some teams were cheating with test results. The NBA says they are now being guided by their own internal scientific studies-what a joke.

And speaking of cheating or more of a case of incompetency—how can anyone believe claims of DeBlasio that NYC schools are safe —when adequate testing is not being performed in the schools. Mulgrew has to follow through on his recent words with Adams come January 3–and not rollover. Adams should be invited to have Inauguration in the Auditorium, Gymnasium or Student Cafeteria of any school. And front row seats should be reserved for DeBlasio and Mulgrew.

YOu have a lot of animosity, if your insides are like your outsides, must look like Pelosi. You will see the true pedos from the Maxwell trial Clintons and more than we can imagine. CNN is a pedo network and you watch these sick people, makes you little sick too. Project veritas is one of the most legit exposures of true journalism this world has, why FBI invaded them, they are scared.

No those drugs do not, ivermectin noble peace prize and is cheap thats obviously a huge reason big pharma is scared. Joe Rogan proved it works and Dana white and Dr, Zelenko and thousands of other doctors. Wasn't your old demented resident supposed to beat covid?

I know James agrees with your point about dues, however, with election rigging and 12 years Mulgrew if we pulled dues it would hurt union to change leadership not to dissolve or destroy it (which it already is.)
