The AFT Convention is in Boston over the next four days. The United for Change opposition party in the UFT which received 34% of the overall vote in the recent UFT election, including 56% from the high schools, will have exactly zero representatives there. AFT President Randi Weingarten's Unity Caucus will send all 750 of the UFT Delegates to the AFT Convention because of the UFT's at-large voting system that basically disenfranchises high school teachers who often vote against Unity Caucus.
The email below came from President Weingarten this morning.
AFT
James,
Today we’re beginning our convention in Boston. It’s been an incredibly tough year for all of us, and I’m so glad our members will be able to be together in person this week.
I’ll be kicking off the convention with a speech this morning. You can watch my speech live and find a schedule of our sessions here.
Over the next four days, our speakers will include leaders like Sen. Elizabeth Warren and first lady Dr. Jill Biden. We’ll have panels on gun violence prevention led by survivors of gun violence. We’ll have parent and community leaders like National PTA President Nathan Monell. And we’ll celebrate the historic affiliation of the American Association of University Professors with the AFT, discuss how to put patients over profits, and more.
We’ll launch our convention by talking about how we’re focusing on what kids need. In my speech, I’ll be discussing how we need to get back to the basics. Too many politicians have tried to divide parents and students for personal political gain, but parents and teachers know that this politicization doesn’t help our students.
I’ll be laying out our plans today. I hope you’ll tune in.
Thank you James for everything you do.
In unity,
Randi Weingarten
AFT President

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 203 of 2037:31 But they do give a fuck what I think. That’s how I am able to con them into loving me. They care about every piece of woke garbage that come out of my mouth. I do my job. You just don’t like the job I do. And you really really really don’t like that the job you despise was designed by woke, progressive democrats so you attack me to get that warm fuzzy feeling that tells you you’re so virtuous. Enjoy it. I hear the high is a short one.
4:02 moron, your post makes absolutely no sense and you pulled it out of your ass like you always do. As long as you are doing what they want you to do during the school day, what the hell do they care. Of course they pretend to love you fool, they've got you running about doing their bidding unless your colleagues who leave at the end of the day their dignity intact. Unlike you, fraud, I don't despise my job, not the parents, and not the students, and I've never posted any such thing, so it is nothing but projection and the delusions that you have to tell yourself to survive.
402 Sounds like they've recruited you into being their propaganda mouthpiece. That's like one of Trump's peon's bragging that he's spreading covid lies, and spreading other Trump madness, but Trump likes him because he has him fooled. Do you not understand how crazy it sounds to brag that you've sold your soul to the devil (not that I actually think *they're* the devil), but you're actually spreading what you consider to be "woke garbage" even though you don't believe in it?. Lol. They couldn't pay me $500K a year to spreak conservative propaganda garbage, and yet you admit you go against your own belief system for a good rating. LMAO. You don't do your job because you've fooled them into thinking you're working when you're not, remember?. You're defrauding the DOE is what you're doing, that's not "doing your job".
