Or tenure becomes 5 years. Etc etc etc. file a grievance and go to court. Don’t close down schools for 3 months. Those people were targeted for a reason. Many were political acting to undermine community control. That was what the strike was really about. But I also have sone issues with that brand too and in a rational world needed to be worked out. There was anti semitism but also anti black on other side. Shanker power play a factor. Used incidents of anti Semitic actions to divide and inflame city not calm it.

I'm not an expert, but if you violate seniority rights for even one teacher, the whole structure collapses. We either have the right or we don't. So, casting aside 3 teachers and hiring 30 is still unacceptable. Tomorrow, the 30 can be booted out.

Then upon further reflection and reading saw aspects of both sides. Some union rights definitely violated but do you strike over that? Who was behind community control? Certainly some corporate funded anti-union forces> Had the UFT gotten too big for its britches and had to be cut down? Maybe yes and maybe no.
