Since the Unity slugs aren't willing to hold a conversation about the contract, MORE is going to do so. Which would you rather attend? A one-way filibuster at a Unity/UFT sponsored borough meeting - while your school is getting a visitor from the UFT who will also filibuster in your school while leaving a few minutes for you to ask questions - or a MORE event?
Really, you should check out some of the Unity troll comments sprinkled throughout this blog about how we should be democratic and let the members decide - I laughed so hard I fell off my stool - yes, like the UFT, I have a stool at the table - but it's my table.
By the way, I too had to sign a loyalty oath - to my wife - that I won't spill the beer again when falling off a stool while laughing at Unity slug comments.
MORE Update: MORE - Get Informed on the Contract / Get Connected at a Happy Hour Event Near You!
| ... and come out for the Take Back Our Schools rally on May 17!
