I, for one, have had a lot to worry about for quite some time.

Yes, not every single teacher voted at my school but the ones who did asked me who to vote for and I said Julie and they said they sent their ballots in with her vote. If they lied to me, I will never know. I only know what they told me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-2445845001662955072015-08-07T15:21:40.137-04:002015-08-07T15:21:40.137-04:00Norm-rumors persist that the UFT leadership is qui...Norm-rumors persist that the UFT leadership is quite concerned with the upcoming Supreme Court decision regarding dues check-off. Right now the court appears to reflect 4 v4 with the swing vote vital. Question?? If the union lost the dues check-off in your opinion would that perhaps allow the UFT to strike when a future impasse happens?? Leadership has been quite hesitant to even consider a strike with the dues check-off a vital concern......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-47832398764680516412015-08-07T11:57:55.305-04:002015-08-07T11:57:55.305-04:00I think you think you got them to vote for Julie -...I think you think you got them to vote for Julie -- Julie had her entire school vote for her. You know how many people have told me that? If true the vote total would not have been so low as 1100 elem school votes. You have to see them come to school with the ballot and put it in the mail with them - that is the groundgame needed.ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-71977001282995721382015-08-07T11:50:57.436-04:002015-08-07T11:50:57.436-04:00I got my whole elementary school staff to vote for...I got my whole elementary school staff to vote for Julie in the last UFT election. We will see who puts up the best candidate to oppose Mulgrew in the next election. In all honesty, the vast majority of the teachers at my elementary school do not know a thing about UFT politics. As the sole veteran teacher, they always come to me for advice. However, I do think we will be seeing s surge of union activism at the elementary level as we face a whole distinct set of unique problems.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
