That is the least of the corruption in Mulgrew's office. <br />Mulgrew blew one million dollars on a "UFT History" bash just weeks before his election- it was a blatant mis-use of dues money to help his campaign. The entire event was planned by his Unity henchmen and they all laughed about how they were spending union dues to promote his canidacy. Any time David (Mr. PBA Man) Hickey is involved in a cash edvent, hold on to your wallets. <br />Who thinks Mulgrew and his free spending acolytes care one whit about union history? WHy isnt there regualr coverage of union history- after Jack Scheirenback had a stroke- Weingarten killed his Labor Notes column and NY Teacher editor Deidre McFadyen says younger teachers arent intersted in history! THe paper has more ads in it than history stories.<br /><br />Mulgrew even forced his reporters to attend the UFT History event and to pay for a ticket! <br />Think about it: you have to kick back to Mulgrew's slush fund to do your job!<br />And he calls himself a union leader, shaking down his employees? It sounds more like the Carpenters Union.Ted Maritasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-62214422040689367382011-03-12T09:55:48.358-05:002011-03-12T09:55:48.358-05:00The UFT's paralysis, if that is what it is, is...The UFT's paralysis, if that is what it is, is incredible. Don't they realize that the law just passed in Wisconsin eliminates dues checkoff?<br /><br />How long would those quail diners and double pensions last if the same thing happened here, and the District Reps had to collect dues in person?Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.com
