Did your private lawyer seem aware of DOE procedure in your 3020a hearing? Where did you find this lawyer? Would you recommend this lawyer? Were you happy with the lawyer? Any info is appreciated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-22524316490769332572017-03-03T22:36:18.424-05:002017-03-03T22:36:18.424-05:00We don't really have the tools to get people o...We don't really have the tools to get people organized. We only can report on it. We had nothing to do with getting Marilyn that support -- it was all parent organizing. People put MORE down for calling for alliances with parents -- the people in the UFT who are like Trump nationalists -- instead of America firsters -- teachers only. The story is not about Marilyn alone but about her qualities as a teacher that inspires such loyalty from parents. So who knew Marilyn before? Some lesser known person without support from a community - nor the UFT -- is fighting an uphill battle. Marilyn doesn't really need the UFT though she could use them -- in fact at the next hearing next Friday Mulgrew would be stupid not to show up. This is not due to anything Marilyn or we did but the parents. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-91454293125698775842017-03-03T13:52:35.632-05:002017-03-03T13:52:35.632-05:00When Can We Have a Meeting?

I went through a 3020 a in 2014 and I do not wish it on my worst enemy. The difference though is that I had 18 months in the rubber room prior to that trial which lasted 5 months. I am an ATR today which tells the story. I did not use NYSUT lawyer and even then it was not easy, with an arbitrator who to all intent and purpose was out to fire me.<br />You guys have the tool to get members organized - leave the UFT behind, dont waste time talking about what is not going to happen. Please can you organize a meeting (as youve done in the past) so that we can talk about the best way for teachers to support Martinez and the others facing 3020s. I am again facing another one because my ATR supervisors are making sure that I receive end of year U ratings and the DOE is making sure they rubber stamp the supervisor's ratings. We need to organize; picket, let the world know what is happening and we need to go to court. I stand ready. Otherwise they will pick us out one by one.<br />Today Martinez, tomorrow some lesser known person!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-21846641183941336742017-03-03T11:45:19.148-05:002017-03-03T11:45:19.148-05:00Norman, try to use this example as a rallying poin...Norman, try to use this example as a rallying point to target the District Representative for this school.

No NYSUT-appointed lawyer? If true, then that is a gross violation of the union's duty to represent, and something that should be publicized widely. Frankly, if true, it's so egregious that the press, l even the right-wing press, should be notified.<br /><br />I don't know if he is corrupt, incompetent or merely distracted, but Mulgrew will be the death of this union if he's allowed to continue "leading" it. <br /><br />Marilyn Martinez deserves better, and so do NYC teachers.<br /><br />Michael Fiorillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120229151713643775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-18651563397542461942017-03-02T22:53:55.009-05:002017-03-02T22:53:55.009-05:00Mulgrew barely bothers to show up for his own Exec...Mulgrew barely bothers to show up for his own Executive Board meetings; why should he bother defending a a lowly dues-paying member?Michael Fiorillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02120229151713643775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-67156473353820257602017-03-02T21:47:08.988-05:002017-03-02T21:47:08.988-05:00The UFT is hiding like always, while good experien...The UFT is hiding like always, while good experienced teachers are sacrificed.
