UFT elections are in April. Please stop complaining about Michael Mulgrew and get involved with United for Change. We have an historic opportunity to fix the UFT by ousting Mulgrew's Unity Caucus from power.
You can meet the United for Change High School Executive Board candidates on Zoom on Sunday at 4:00pm.

when is the election?
Ballots mailed to member homes April 8.
We had a potential CL running but I had serious reservations when she was not successful in her own battles against the school.
How can we trust that Camille will be successful in our battles against abusive Principals, excessive paperwork, and the rest, when she allowed Principal Ayetiwa to just steamroll over everyone? You give her a lot of credit for being a strong delegate but rumor has it that he was fucking one his subordinates and he let her personal grievances dictate the way he treated people which included getting rid of anyone who she thought was getting in her way, including the Chapter Leader, an AP, a few teachers, and last but not least Ms. Eterno herself, all black and brown people. I know she won some of her cases, but she went on leave and then became an ATR, right?
Isn't it unethical for a Principal to have an affair with a Principal? Why was he allowed to get away with all of his abuse and is there any plan to rectify any of this? It's been a long time, but he ruined a lot of lives.
Glad you raised Humanities and the Arts. For the record, Camille was Delegate at the time and not Chapter Leader.
Here is a list of some of the people in the UFT Camille reached out to for assistance right from the start of Ayetiwa's regime:
James Vasquez, Rona Freiser, Amy Arundell and more. Camille stood with anyone who fought back and then was subject to viscious attacks.
In addition, she spent an afternoon with VP Janella Hinds at the 2016 UFT election count. Janella said she would be in touch to plan a strategy. We are still waiting.
We went to UFT Secretary Leroy Barr's office. He told us the UFT would not expose an abusive principal in public. He said we had to fight in new and creative ways. In essence, the UFT did virtually nothing to help the chapter.
Camille took a group from the school to Senator Leroy Comrie's office and there was some positive feedback but at that point she also needed to fight to defend herself which she did brilliantly. Her record was completely cleared. She helped others along the way too. There was a successful lawsuit.Any rumors of affairs happened after she left.
If Camille is elected president, she would use the power of the UFT presidency to expose any administrator who is abusive toward our members.She lived it and knows what it's like for a chapter to be under attack and receive virtually no assistance from the Union.
There were people in the Grievance Department who did help Camille with her personal defense. Then director Ellen Proceda was very supportive.
Then Queens Borough Rep Rona Freiser also assisted. It was the Chapter that was left basically hung out to dry by the UFT.
Sorry I missed the zoom.is there a recording?
I believe you James. The UFT representatives failed me. They also failed my colleagues. We fought abusive administrators ALONE. Janella Hinds promised support that never came. She wasn't alone. Anthony Klug and Mary Atkinson were equally useless. My point is that if different people were in charge of the UFT, maybe I wouldn't have had to fight alone. Like Camille, I will always speak up for myself and others. I'm voting for her. Everyone I know is voting for her. A union with a weak leader is no union. Good luck
I will find out if there is a recording.
