In a shocking surrender of conscience, he winked that the delegates could vote for Thompson in the privacy of the voting booth, but that the UFT would not support Thompson pubically. No Camus, this Mulgrew.Philip Nobilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056036270116730837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-29030258641220869642010-08-25T07:51:45.047-04:002010-08-25T07:51:45.047-04:00All I can say is: I smoke cigars.

I was disgusted that there was no mention of ICE or GEM and their work in any of the press conferences today. I hope ICE and GEM will continue to be involved with RttT, specifically in monitoring how the money will be distributed. Hopefully, directly to the classroom.Benjinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-467280505161744072010-08-24T16:27:06.013-04:002010-08-24T16:27:06.013-04:00You are correct as the UFT and AFT leadership is o...You are correct as the UFT and AFT leadership is on the wrong side regarding many of the issues facing teachers and public schools. With the recent revelations regarding the fraudulent test scores the UFT in NYC should be changing their position vis-a-vis test scores being used to determine tenure and annual ratings. Instead, they are falling all over themselves for the BIG prize of 700 million in RTT bribes. How much is that compared to the NYC education budget? Real ass wipes these leaders. As for Weingarten she wants to continue her place at the table of the corporate elite. Never forget, she came from a legal environment which has always catered to the big and powerful. Now she is one of them and able to promote her agenda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-8020733871609970232010-08-24T16:19:06.704-04:002010-08-24T16:19:06.704-04:00It's been a long time since the unions have su...It's been a long time since the unions have summoned the power of the principled stand. Bread & butter unionism has led the entire labor movement astray. TIme was, the US labor movement stood for deep social justice and the fight against fascism, in addition to fair compensation. Labor used to represent all persons with progressive ideals, regardless of vocation. We need this progressive union voice now that we're reaching the end of the American Empire and a fundamental restructuring of our political economy is bound to take place.Cecilia Blewernoreply@blogger.com
