Caught red-handed. But that is expected. Do you think they will give up even a small piece of power without dirty tricks? I've been dealing with these people for 43 years. Most are fine but there is a thug element. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-56930692129862402892013-02-03T16:16:45.938-05:002013-02-03T16:16:45.938-05:00On explaining why someone would pull MORE literatu... On explaining why someone would pull MORE literature out of boxes - maybe a secretary or Principal who thinks she is in charge of the universe would pull stuff because no one kow towed to her? Maybe someone who hates the person stuffing the boxes is doing it for just that reason? Maybe a rivalry between the chapter leader and a MORE person that has to do with dislike and personal reasons rather than orders from on high? There are lots of petty, stupid people in this world that do nasty things without following orders due to an evil conspiracy. Why are people uninformed? Because many people have tunnel vision, they are busy doing bubble sheets or somesuch nonsense, they have consuming child care or health issues, they are selfish, young and inexperienced, grew up in an anti Union household, their morale is shot, they are moving on in two years to run a charter school or work on Wall Street, getting their AP license, lots of reasons people are uninformed that don't involve the leadership of the UFT - more astonishing is how many people are eligible to vote in state, local, and national elections and not only do not vote or affiliate with a party but don't even bother to register to vote. Or teachers who voted for Bloomberg three times, buy the NY POST every day, then complain they have no contract. That's not the fault of any UFT VP, Special Rep, Dr, etc. How many chapter leaders don't even bother to show up at the DA or for the Dr's monthly meetings? I'm sure if the level of control that you say exists then there would be close to 100% attendance, instead of the 20 - 40 % that is usual.

And by the way -- this is not "you guys". It is ME. So don't brand what i write as somehow MORE or GEM or even ICE. That is a tactic Unity slugs (which I am sure you are not) engage in -- to paint an entire group based on one person's positions. I can understand that given that in Unity you can only have one point of view. Sort of like an ant colony. <br />Why are people uninformed? The union sure makes sure people are informed on stuff they want people to be informed on. All they have to do is issue an order to the Dist Reps -- at your meetings inform the CLs that people haev the right. Of course they don't.<br />So on pulling things out of boxes -- and I do have names etc but I only use the names of the worst slugs like Washington Sanchez or Charlie Turner --please explain the motivation for anyone but UNity to pull MORE things out of boxes? Note how E4E gets its shit into boxes but we don't hear about them being pulled --- because E4E is not a threat to Unity.<br />And yes when it comes to Unity I am all for profiling and stereotyping -- you joined an undemocratic organization that suppresses voices and has led us down the path to the end of the public school system and the ultimate end of teacher unions -- though I am sure the Unity people at the top will find a way to maintain themselves in power. Why don't you get up and complain about the incredible number of 6 figure salaries? I guess you will say they work so hard -- maybe even harder than the average teacher who makes about 70 g for working with 5 classes a day packed with kids?<br />Oh, I can go on. ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-8613309152668977632013-02-03T13:38:06.592-05:002013-02-03T13:38:06.592-05:00Why the namecalling (hack,slug)?

Did you ever think that maybe the way you pigeonhole all members of a group that not only does it turn them off it turns off others to your arguments and POV as well? Not everyone who disagrees with you guys or is a Unity member engages in the kind of dirty tricks behavior you describe (and fail to substantiate)- if this is going on it says more about the individual that engages in that kind of behavior. There are unethical people in every organization, does that mean that all in that organization are unethical? That is profiling and stereotyping - are you for that? Maybe in the handful of cases you say exist it has more to do with personalities or rivalries in that particular school. Also, many secretaries and principals as James says above do not know the rules and might pull things out of ignorance or just feeling that you are cutting into "their" territory. Since names are not mentioned, you don't identify the District Representative or schools I'm guessing that no one can definitively identify who pulled materials out of boxes, it is just assumed that the Unity guy did it.
