UFT Urges Delegates to go to PEP After DA

Dear delegates,
We just wanted to remind you that the UFT Delegate Assembly is meeting tomorrow at the UFT, 52 Broadway.
There will be a recommendation that the delegates go to the Panel for Educational Policy (PEP) meeting at Brooklyn Tech HS following the DA.
Sincerely,
Michael Mendel
UFT Secretary

After the delegates vote to give retirees more control over the union, head on down to the PEP where people who are actually working in classrooms can watch their throats being cut. The only way this makes sense if they don't run the meeting till 6 because by the time they get to the PEP it will be far into the meeting. Maybe they will take care of business quickly --- one would think they should postpone the constitutional amendment and deal with the SIG crisis. But I think the priority is to assure lifetime control of the union. Should be fun to see but I will head over to the PEP earlier ---unless I go to the PS 19 closing hearing in Williamsburg instead --- ahhh, so many choices.
