| THE JOKE OF THE WEEK |
Thanks to the work of Jonathan Halabi for putting together a list of all Unity people who are running -- 222 Unity CLs from the schools are running in the election (the list may not be complete and I am not including CLs from functional chapters).
They are part of the 750-800 who will go to this July's AFT convention in Minneapolis (we will publish some more including district reps and other in the future), all expenses paid by our dues, to vote as ONE for anything Randi and Mulgrew wants them to vote for. They will also go to the NYSUT convention next April and stay at the NY Hilton to make sure Unity keeps control against any challenge from Stronger Together. Also on our dues.
When the 2018 contract comes up for a vote, no matter how onerous it is, they will sell it to the members of their schools. They owe their loyalty to Unity and the UFT leadership, not the members who elected them. Now there are even more Unity CLs and some delegates who are not running for election. Who knows exactly hoe many CLs and delegates they have - and if you add functionals and retirees (300) they have the DA under control - unless and until the non-affiliated start attending en masse.
Their numbers explain how they can control the Delegate Assembly. These are the ground troops Unity uses to control the membership.
That is why I maintain that the more important elections are the chapter leaders and delegates (next in 2018) than this election because each one of these people will extract some votes out of their schools.
My guess is that the opposition needs to get people active in 500 schools before they can dent the Unity machine enough to make a difference.
I sorted them by district. High Schools are district 71-73 and 76-79, reflecting the borough high school districts.

You forgot a few details but I am sure this post will be deleted. This is the front line forcing fighting for members every day. When the Principal summons you, they are there. When you have a grievance, they are there. When you have a question about benefits for your sick child, they are there. When you have a problem with your paycheck they are there. When it is time to protest, they are there. When it is time to rally, they are there. When it is time to gather your fellows to donate days when you are dying of cancer they are there. When your love one dies, they are there.
And yes they go to conventions and stick together because that helps all of us (including you Norm) because in Unity there is strength.
Holy $&@# !!!!!
You all must be taking lessons in comedy.
When the principal summons you you guys side with the principal. And when the district rep arrives he or she hugs the principal. You're on the wrong front line.
You are on the front lines of defending common core, taking money from the state ed dept, Eli Broad and Bill Gates. On the front line of opposing opt out. On the front line of supporting free market and opposing seniority rules. I could go on.
There are chapter leaders who do the job, and try to do it well. Some are Unity members. Some belong to MORE. I like to think I do a reasonably good job, and I am a co-ordinator of New Action. The first Anonymous poster (9:56) insults all the hard-working chapter leaders, volunteers all, who do not join Unity.
At the DAs, and in my case on the Exec Board, we vote as our conscience dictates, as we judge best for the members, or as the members of our chapters ask us to.
Unity chapter leaders have sold their votes. They do not vote their conscience, they do not use their best judgment, they do not follow the recommendations of their members. Instead, they vote as Unity instructs them, and they claim small jobs and a free trip or two as their rewards.
Anonymous would like to remain anonymous - the members who elect him probably think he represents them - and he's probably hoping they do not learn the truth.
You listed 222 Unity Chapter Leaders. This thread was about them. 9:56 never said that they were not other CLs who do a good job. We had in the OP by Norm is usually attack of convention going loyalist. The point of 9:56 was that these people just don't go to conventions but they are support their fellow Sisters and Brothers every day in the schools or other units.
But many of them don't support their fellow teachers or they wouldn't be coming to MORE. There are so many reports of Unity Chapter leaders who if a teacher complains spills the beans to the principal and the teacher gets in trouble. How many ATRs are supported by Unity chapter leaders who think like their leadership that these people are lucky to have a job. Didn't you tell people that if they turned down the 2014 contract the city would go bankrupt and then ends up with billions in surplus? I personally know of many Unity CLs who have cushy jobs in their school and "work" with the principal to make sure they keep these jobs. We know of schools where a Unity CL lost to a MOEE person and the principal has conspired with the former CL to go after the MORE teacher and friends.
"This is the front line forcing" (sic) clearly excludes the rest of us. I take as much offense as the author clearly intended.
While many of the 222 do good work for their members, they undermine it by voting against their members' interests on contracts, teacher evaluations, and political endorsements.
Some of the 222 are my friends. Sometimes the issue is so noxious that their stomach cannot allow them to obey the oath - they sit on their voting cards. That is something. But it is not enough.
Yes I am also friendly with some of these people too and some of them do a good job. But I also have been told by teachers about how so many are in the pockets of their principa and are not to be trusted -- they are in essence the principal's enforcer.
I also saw a batch of them mock the people who walked out on Bill Gates. I see them at the mics at AFT conventions calling the question or doing dirty work on committees. One woman who I had respected said some things and defended some policies in a political maneuver to shut out the chicago teachers union from a call to control charters 4 years ago. The point is that we have reached a point where people have to face some public scrutiny of their actions.
They should have the same conscience as Roseanne McCosh who was a Unity CL but walked away. We know others who did to because they have a conscience.
Oh and coming soon are the other 550, including Randi and Alan Lubin. Imagine - we are voting for delegates who have supposedly left the UFT years and even decades ago. All that while even if MORE got only 20% of the vote those people are disenfranchised while Randi gets elected to "rep" us.
Yeah you "stick together." You stick with whatever UFT Leadership tells you to stick with instead of sticking with what your members want. You stuck together to support the use of Danielson which is an unreasonable tool to use to evaluate teachers. You stuck together to support Mulgrew wanting to punch anyone in the face who tries to end common core. You stuck together when Mulgrew gave a speech about how great the evaluation system is....how it's so much better than the old system when we weren't tied to test scores. You stuck with a leadership who wants Danielson and test scores to continue to be used as weapons against teachers. Backing the leader's agenda at all times at all costs no matter what asinine thing they do or say is not a sign of strength. When you're handed the next cup of Unity Kool Aid and you willingly gulp it down because UFT Leadership tells you to, you are not exhibiting strength, you are exposing your weaknesses as individuals who put aside the wants and needs of the members you were elected to represent in favor of remaining on bended knee at the foot of UFT Leadership who promotes Danielson and the tying of teachers to test scores. And you do this because you know how dangerous it is to be a teacher these days and you convince yourself that if you suck up enough they will protect you better than the rest of us. If you are part of their inner circle you will be offered more protection than is offered the teachers you were elected to represent. Unity Strength my ass! Strength is tossing the cup of Kool Aid into the face of the one who serves it to you. Strength is galvanizing the members in your school so they rarely need UFT leadership. Strength is expecting and demanding support from UFT leadership when you do need them. Roseanne McCosh
I am looking forward to the 2018 elections. It is sad that these folks are voting their caucus rather than the issues. I wish there were more data regarding what teachers really want. One can be mad a Chapter Leaders, but it's really teachers and other uft members who ought to "plug-in" to what's happening within the union. And yet, much understanding goes to how difficult the job is in and of itself -- many feel they have no time for union stuff -- and many are even more oblivious to how the "union stuff" connects to their everyday work experiences.
2018 should be interesting since it is also a contract year. Unity likes to have contracts locked up before the general election which will be in 2019.
We need to address the next contract after this election is over. It is never too early to raise the issue.
Danielson was forced upon us by Governor Cuomo. Even if the socialists from MORE were in charge, it would STILL have been forced upon us, or even worse, since you MORE-ons haven't a clue as to how to run anything.
Are you MORE guys funded by Eva Moskowitz? Your attacks echo those by her. Even your shirts resemble hers.
