This "don't give a crap" is getting more popular by the minute. I believe he only took 77% here in the big apple.

A.J. Duffy is a disaster, and UTLA has become little more than an obstacle to reform in Los Angeles. Why on earth would anyone assume that new teachers such as myself would find UTLA relevant?

I wonder what you mean by "reform.?
The UFT wasn't an obstacle to "reform" and it's been a disaster.
I think a union should resist the phony reform movement going around the country.

If you are a new teacher from TFA who intends to put in your 2 years and leave that's one thing. If you are staying the course, comeback and talk to me about the relevance of the union in 5 or 10 years.
