Well, you know there are some people that actually attach their name and photo and others who are just gutless. And yes, let a DR take the same kind of heat your policies have put teachers under. Given what we are hearing from DRs about how they are only interested in dictating union policy and not interested in hearing what chapter leaders have to say, if they can't take the heat and those 6 figure salaries and double pensions, there is always a classroom or at the very least a weekly rotating ATR position for them and just maybe an ineffective rating. How about rating DRs based on performance? 20% based on success in winning grievances. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-1071388532179649492013-01-15T00:25:46.950-05:002013-01-15T00:25:46.950-05:00You're such a facile liar, Norm.

That is a different matter entirely than publishing the boro office phone numbers, and you know it. But, since you have elected to launch an ad hominem attack upon me rather than address the issue, let me ask you directly -- do you think it is a wise policy for a chapter leader to publish the cell phone number of his DR so angry members can flood his cell phone with complaints about union policy? <br /><br />And since I have eaten a great quantity of oats today, and I am feeling them, allow me to respond to your insulting comment with one of my own. When, pray tell, are you going to update your photo to accurately display your current level of antediluvian decrepitude? Your current picture was snapped at the airport in Aruba, wasn't it, on your return trip from your first post-retirement vacation back in 1987? You certainly haven't displayed that level of robust manliness anytime in this millenium. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-78113966538579292762013-01-14T23:57:23.837-05:002013-01-14T23:57:23.837-05:00Go to sleep Mike.

DR's answer chapter leaders' phone calls at all hours to help solve problems and offer support. 99% of those calls have nothing to do with major policy issues. They are about sick members, OSI investigations, chapter leader trainin, etc. So what possible use would it be to harass the people whose main job is to support chapter leaders and members? It amounts to a prank, or a kind of vandalism. I'd say you have revealed yourself, and the image is pretty pathetic.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-4455575385703362762013-01-14T22:53:41.173-05:002013-01-14T22:53:41.173-05:00This comment is unintelligible.

I am sorry to report that unfortunately teachers are not paying attention. Everyone I speak with is unaware of the critical time in which we are living and is barely following the issue of teacher evaluations. Most chapters are not functioning and some have had trouble finding someone to be chapter leader. 250 schools are already using the unapproved system under the name of a "project". When I speak about tying 40% of our evaluations to student test scores and 13% getting an appeal for a U rating, it is obvious teachers just do not see the implications for guaranteeing a certain percentage will be fired using junk science. I do think that the Unity caucus is ripe to be beat if the membership had a clue what was happening. Goodman is playing hard on this ignorance.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Goodman is a major reason why retiree's should not be allowed to vote in the UFT elections. This shill has been raking it in for decades and still has an office and secretary at the UFT, yet no official position. His main function is to refute and justify all of the crap that the leadership hands out to the delegates and now online.

Lets inundate the UFT with phone calls demanding full disclosure and a right to vote. Lets gather any and every UFT phone numbers and e-mails we can gather and publish them collectively on every blog and website willing to participate with a plea to call and e-mail the UFT non-stop. Lets start Monday morning and not stop until they are forced to respond. Our collective message should ask for full disclosure on any evaluation system, a right for a vote of rank and file, and a statement that we don’t want the DA voting on this for us. This is precisely what the UFT does to politicians in Albany. Lets give them a taste of their own medicine. Maybe, just maybe there is time to stop the sell out. Unitymustgo!noreply@blogger.com
