Unity Caucus Candidates E-K: The 750 AFT Convention Goers Who Vote as ONE

Continuing our series of Unity people who are getting a free ride on our dues at a cost of $2 million to Minneapolis this summer to rubber stamp whatever Randi wants - and Randi is actually running as one of OUR delegates. Go figure.

Now say MORE/NA gets 20% of the vote - those 20% are being taxed (dues) without representation at AFT/NYSUT conventions. Is there a law suit somewhere calling for a refund of dues paid to these parent organizations for those voting against Unity?

That is why pumping up the vote for MORE makes a better case for democratizing the UFT and bringing voices free of loyalty oaths to the table. One thing I can say about the MORE candidates who are running - if any of them win they will not be under a MORE loyalty oath and free to push their ideas into the UFT. Imagine if there were even a 100 MORE supporters going to these conventions? We would see a new ball game in the national and state unions.

  1. So, if MORE wins, they won't go to the convention at all? Or they'll send a small contingent? Or they'll ask delegates to pay their own way? Which is it, Norm?

    And if Jia is elected UFT Prez and goes on to become AFT Prez, and still needs to be a delegate from a local, is it okay if UFT gives her a place on ballot? Will u still say wtf then?

    1. If MORE wins you may still get to go because it will be proportional based on vote % like many primaries -- note how you never even touch on that key question.
      You all vote as one so you might as well send Mulgrew to cast 750 votes and save us $2 million bucks.
      And Randi needs a local? Why take up slots from real teachers. Send her from Minnesota. actually she is president so why does she need a local.
      And look how many retirees on your list while working teachers get no voice.
      Do these lists make you nervous? I bet most teachers in the schools don't even know their Unity CL is getting this perk.

  2. Why would the list make anyone nervous? The convention is a show of force. One man can't have a convention. Let's concede your point re proportionality, but I dont see how we save money on conventions w MORE. I dont know rules but I think it makes sense that Randy needs to be part of a local.

    1. Why are Unity slugs stopping by to defend themselves?
