Shanker tried to pull all kinds of end runs around the NEA and they tried to recruit some of us in the 70s. The NYSUT merger was an end run but the NEA barred the door to total Unity-like control by limiting the numbers of members merged unions can send. That is what Mike is talking about -- another end run - Randi wants to lead 4 mil + members not just 1.5, with 40% coming from NY State.<br />You need to get a crew from Buffalo to support Stronger Together which in the long run has the capability to create a challenge on the state and national levels.<br />ed notes onlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018047869059226777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-12292282507496223262015-06-21T11:39:49.117-04:002015-06-21T11:39:49.117-04:00Call me petty but I don't see NEA and AFT as c...Call me petty but I don't see NEA and AFT as competing entities, They are both run by Common Core loving Gates funded career climbers who put themselves ahead of their constituents. Oh and they both seem to like to make the occasional firebrand remark whenever it seems people are asking too many questions.

Their faculty was not going to be gutted. My already designated renew school caved almost immediately. East Side and other Ironbound schools barely experienced the impact of One Newark. The children bearing the burdens of One Newark endure dislocations, lengthy commutes and extended school days. Standardized tests scores have certainly not risen as a result of the manufactured chaos. Teachers are running for the exits not the picket lines.<br /><br />Abigail ShureAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33431390.post-63599502722147454372015-06-21T10:47:17.241-04:002015-06-21T10:47:17.241-04:00After Randi pushed the 2005 UFT contract she becom...After Randi pushed the 2005 UFT contract she becomes AFT president! That in and of itself it unbelievable. That she's still there surreal. That there has to be a superhuman strategy to get her out, pure science fiction - or is it? All I can say is it's about time. Her puppet Mulgrew needs to go too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
