Once we have the election committee in place, I'll post nomination forms for the three positions that you'll be voting for: Chapter Leader, Delegate, and Paraprofessional Representative. Details can be found here and information on chapter election committee training here<br /><br />If anyone is interested in running for Chapter Leader, trust me, I will not be upset. I know Michael Mulgrew and UFT Unity would probably be happy to see me go, hell, they may even throw a party. ;) So if you think you'd like to give it a go, be ready to add your name. All I would ask is that if you do decide to take on this role please always remember that you should represent the concerns and best interests of the members you represent TO the UFT and not the other way around.<br />------------------<br /><br />MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-29048069000531406342015-04-23T20:16:58.638-04:002015-04-23T20:16:58.638-04:00Michael Mulgrew makes two hundred and fifty thousa...Michael Mulgrew makes two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year and does not even teach.

When we have a union telling the members that there was a victory to the anti-teachers, anti-public schools budget bill, then it is time for a true union leader that throw perks to the loyalists.<br /><br />Now I see why they call you a Raving Lunatic because you just proved to the readers that anti-teachers and anti-public education is acceptable through our present leadership.<br /><br />Let's get the billionaire bucks out of politics and bring back DEMOCRACY. <br /><br />"Capitalism is against the things that we say we believe in - democracy, freedom of choice, fairness. It's not about any of those things now. It's about protecting the wealthy and legalizing greed." - Michael Moore<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-79986608852427451512015-04-23T12:27:29.632-04:002015-04-23T12:27:29.632-04:00I am getting out a violin for you.I am getting out a violin for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-39199281831053037252015-04-23T06:47:29.540-04:002015-04-23T06:47:29.540-04:00We also need to vote for someone else instead of M...We also need to vote for someone else instead of Mulgrew!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-9007120205263454522015-04-23T06:13:55.372-04:002015-04-23T06:13:55.372-04:00Let me clarify what we do.

We work continually and don't stop until there is 100% agreement. Because we are so brilliant and determined, everyone agrees with everything, always. <br /><br />It's the best of all possible worlds. I urge you to vote for chapter leaders who will represent leadership, because honestly, you members don't know what's good for you. In fact, you don't even need to decide or vote because we are more than happy to sacrifice ourselves and do it for you.<br /><br />Thank you. You may now go about your business.

We see through you. We know you arrive to the covention on bended knee waiting for Mulgrew to give you permission to stand. Why spend our money and attend? Ednotes is right----just have Mulgrew go and save the money---you're just going to vote the way he tells you to.

I see all of you guys lunching (on our dollar), shopping - on your own - I hope - and partying at dinner. All expenses paid with meals, hotels and transportation covered - for all 800 of you. Add that up. A couple of million - at roughly 2 grand a person. And since you all vote as a block you might as send Mulgrew to cast 800 votes - and that is allowed. Many locals can't even afford to send their people. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-44202956805876937272015-04-22T19:58:21.615-04:002015-04-22T19:58:21.615-04:00To 7:42,

There is nothing free about it. It is total work. From early in the morning to late at night. There is no time at all to see the sites of the host city. Most of the time a convention delegate is involved in the necessary legislation that runs the union.<br />Not complaining. Every Delegate should be proud to serve their Sisters and Brothers. It is about the Union. That is why we run.

We select people who are independent thinkers. Our chapter leader and one of the delegates are two of the strongest minded people I know. No one can make them turn against what they think is right. They were both vocal against the last contract and are wise to the big wimp running the UFT and all of his Unity shills.
