A rally? Again? Adams could care less.

Where’s the UFT on this? Are Mulgrew and Murphy going?

Adams does not serve on behalf of everyday NY citizens.
He is a servant to his wealthy patrons and he does their bidding.

Eric Adams is an Uncle Tom.

You are making the same point over and over. Enough already.

As we lose our medical and get miniscule raises...Reminder that Joe Biden in his first week in office cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline and halted all oil and gas leases on federal land and then proceeded to allow Russia to finish the Nord Stream 2 pipeline and beg OPEC to pump more oil for us...So now underpaid teachers pay $6 a gallon for gas.

James
You are also making the same points over and over again.

It is time to start a new Union for high school teachers or to opt out.

You are not succeeding at reforming the UFT.

@5:55 I agree with you. I do not want Trump or Biden to be president.
Neither one is suited for the job. I wish the voters could have a recall and "fire" Biden. Biden is the face of the Democrat party.
Study his face.

I quite agree that I have not succeeded reforming the UFT;, in fact, it is getting much worse. I still have hope change will come.

I have posted on several occasions on what it would take to fragment the high schools into a new union which could easily be justified.

You would need around 6,500 signatures on petitions to PERB to get an election on what should be the proper bargaining unit for NYC high school teachers.

When you have 100 activists willing to get 65 signatures each, I will listen. Until then, reforming the UFT is still the goal.

555. this accounts for about 5% of all oil production. big wow. capitalists will always raise prices when they can, because they can. that is how the system functions. and it is the same reason we will continue to lose our medical and get minuscule raises.

and Mulgrew won by a landslide and your dues payments got you nowhere.

Kamala Harris is a bigger Uncle Tom than Adams. Racial slur and misgendering all in one comment.

Wholesale prices rose 10.8% in May, near a record annual pace

That goes well with loss of medical and 1% raises.

There is a final 20-21 RTC virtual meeting this afternoon and just wondering if anything is mentioned about this rally by Mulgrew or Murphy.
By the way, the forecast for June 16–is partly sunny and only in the 70’s—big improvement over last July’s rally when it hit the low 90’s.

You can't reform the UFT until you reform the opposition groups into a force. Some progress was made in this election. But not enough.

925. Agreed. We can do that if we focus solely on salary, benefits and working conditions. We can’t do it if the opposition takes on causes many of us don’t want to support.

ed notes online said...

Can you list the causes you don't want to support so we have something to work with?

Anonymous said...

Come on Ed you know the woke issues that waste our unions valuable time

Keep it simple. No causes. Not even causes no one can object to like wear the pink ribbon for breast cancer. Salary, benefits, working conditions (asbestos, lead in water, abusive administrators, class size, removal of disruptive students, Danielson abuses…. Room to add to this list) Full throttle effort on things we ALL want. And until we get those, NOTHING ELSE.

First start by looking in the mirror: Maybe don't do something to others that you don't want done to you. Let's keep it simple.

We’re talking about union priorities. If you want a Do Unto Others lecture, go to church, temple, mosque. Salary, benefits and working conditions should be the UFT’s only focus.

Let's ensure that we do what's right for everyone. Let's stick together. Happy Father's day. Happy Juneteenth.

What’s right for everyone is salary, benefits and working conditions. No divisive causes.

waitingforsupport said...

As long as people work the system, the system will continue to thrive. Stop doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome

Yes it’s time to start just focusing on salary, benefits and working conditions. Everything else is at best a distraction and at worst a division.
