There seems to be a bit of a disconnect with the members and their president as the members feel they need better overall working conditions instead of just focusing on getting an apology from DeBlasio. Now --I'm not saying that Mulgrew is better than Lynch (he's not)-but Lynch has been their president since 1999 and no one has come close or even tried to unseat him as president. I'm not even sure what percent of PBA members actually vote during their elections-but a 16 year run as president- history does suggest that longevity can eventually lead to too much power and being out of touch with the members-no matter what union is under discussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-69922677771058559152015-01-13T04:42:52.684-05:002015-01-13T04:42:52.684-05:00And vote for Mulgrew next year as usual.And vote for Mulgrew next year as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-21376071780990606182015-01-12T19:25:20.410-05:002015-01-12T19:25:20.410-05:00Cuomo has our brilliant and talented UFT leader NU...Cuomo has our brilliant and talented UFT leader NUETERED.<br /> Dont expect anything from Mulgrew, because if he really becomes a problem for Evil Eyes, Cuomo can just come out with what will end Mikes career in a New York minute. <br /> I 'd like to say Cuomo has Mulgrew by the balls, but then again...<br /> So Mulgrew will just play the game of softball and continue to collect his $250,000 paycheck. <br />And we UFT members will just foot the bill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-50821777066823233312015-01-12T17:01:33.901-05:002015-01-12T17:01:33.901-05:00As soon as I have an ATR story, I will post it.

After all, in most societies-its the right wing and high government officials that always seems to view the police/militia as their own private army and protection against anyone who is a threat to their political agenda. So, why bother ticking off their protectors. The police were apparently had their way and seemed very comfortable for 20 years with Guiliani/Bloomberg policies and now they are dealing with a different philosophy with Deblasio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-13044360011174542082015-01-12T10:46:02.664-05:002015-01-12T10:46:02.664-05:00All you saw?!

Hopefully the security cameras caught what actually happened.

Then we would get somewhere. He doesn't even really try to hide it that well. Take money away from schools, throw common core at them, make tests harder, all while making teachers fully responsible for the governments mistakes.

The UFT needs to becomes involved. They've mombilize quickly and effectively in the past using texts and emails. That wasn't done here. It makes me wonder are they and do they want to be part of the fight? They may have a procedural vote to give the appearance of involvement, but actions speak louder than words. What makes the police slow down so effective is that it brings public attention to the issues while skirting the law - thus bringing discomforture to the city.Bronx ATRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08787717237141454628noreply@blogger.com
