There's no point voting, but I surely will.

Some are telling us to keep paying dues to change things from inside? How's that supposed to be done? They have absolutely no motivation to change unless we cut them off from the cash. If they know this is a real possibility, it'll create an ephiany. That's a lot more important than the advertised fear of the boogey men / Koch brothers - the real fear is the lack of that cash flow for self preservation and interests. Time for a real union, even if their fear for its self preservation causes it's reformation.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-22262734742939435362018-04-25T21:12:32.149-04:002018-04-25T21:12:32.149-04:00You’s guys are really giving the newbies way too m...You’s guys are really giving the newbies way too much credit. Half of these hipster Teaching Fellows would elect Moskowitz for UFT President if given the chance. You’d be shocked at how many of these young dodo-birds are Ron Paul supporters. So, maybe the old timers are really a buffer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-50130604777376548352018-04-25T21:00:01.699-04:002018-04-25T21:00:01.699-04:00Told a friend who works for UPS that retirees can ...Told a friend who works for UPS that retirees can vote in UFT elections.

No, they just want to ensure that their pensions and medical benefits are secure. This set up is the perfect scam by the UFT to ensure that that the retirees vote UNITY. People think that the mafia runs things best? Fuck that. UFT has the mafia beat my miles.
