Some teachers have returned to school to find their chapter leader has resigned, been excessed, hung. Sometimes they contact the union to find out what to do. It's sort of left to someone conscious enough to take action. Sometimes, since there is no one in charge, they don't and the principal can just give out those parking permits as they wish. And do some other crap too.
Now one would think the UFT machinery would provide schools with an automatic
method of handing this situation. An election for chapter leader should be held immediately but the UFT is so missing in action at this crucial moment in the school year. I guess they have other fish to fry (hint - look for a large green dot) than worrying about schools being left hanging without a union rep.frying fish at the UFT
Some district reps take some initiative and set up a load of info.
Others respond with: "They are out of the kits and have ordered more. When it arrives, I will mail it to you."
Now this is one dumb (or lazy) district rep. (Why worry if a school has no union rep?) Maybe he thinks the kit comes in a box.
The ICE web site (not the blog) has the scanned "kit" downloadable in a pdf. (6th item on left hand panel.)
Maybe I missed it but I wish the UFT web site had the elusive "kit." If anyone wants to go on a scavenger hunt to find it, let us know.
