Another Example Why NYC Teachers Need To Wake Up And Question UFT Leadership

All over the nation, millions of teachers are waking up to find that the policies of the AFT and the NEA are idiotic.

In Chicago, Washington and now in Detroit, AFT-sponsored leaders have found out the hard way-RANK AND FILE teachers will not stand for the dribble coming out of their mouths.

Yet.....

In NYC, Mike Mulgrew wins an election 91% to 9%. How is this possible? That's right, UNITY caucus who prevents any form of dissent against their idiotic policies. I started teaching in 1996 and in the span of 15 years, my profession has been uprooted not by a billionaire mayor, a heartless ex-chancellor, a clueless new chancellor (6100 layoffs coming but Mulgrew supports her) but the dumb policies of Randi Weingarten and now Mike "I'm My Own Man" Mulgrew.

I support the union but these policies have yet to wake up the rank-and-file teacher who seem to believe every word that comes out of Mulgrew's mouth. Why? Look at Unity's record...

2005 contract
No seniority transfers
37.5 minutes extended day
No grieving against LIF

With Bloomberg, Black and Cuomo aiming to abolish seniority, last in first out and pay raise freezes, when will the rank-and-file rage along with me.

NEVER and that is so sad. Electing a Randi-stooge has led us to the point where many veteran teachers like myself will be joining the unemployment lines for making too much money while the leaders at 52 Broadway do nothing more to screw us.

Congratulations to the teachers of Detroit who have the balls to tell Randi to go copulate herself.
