Saturday, May 20, 2006. THE TWO FACES OF OUR LEADERSHIP. The UTP membership department has forwarded a membership application to the office of President Randi Weingarten. We strongly suspect that she may want to join the reform caucus because her cry of let voters decide is so similar to the basic convictions of UTP ideology. How ironic that Randi gets to see just how that feels. How disgusting that the two faced nature of our Unity leadership is out there for all to see. Thursday, May 04, 2006. The $3 m...

Friday, February 17, 2006. Joe asked that this On The Inside article. Be made available on the blog for comments. Here it is:. WE HAVE DUES PAYING MEMBERS? YOU’RE KIDDING ME, RIGHT? How do you know when your union is neglecting you? Well, one way is to read their web page. Prominently displayed on the UFT web page is a seemingly impressive: UFT ACTION CENTER. Within this box is the list of the union’s priorities. Here’s what was posted on 2/16/06:. PROTEST ABC-TV 20/20 LIES. Katrina Benefit Fund Raiser.

Saturday, September 23, 2006. Band Aid for a Gunshot Wound. What follows is a resolution that came from the UFT Executive Board Meeting. Resolution on UFT District Representatives. Whereas, it is essential to provide continuity of services to chapter leaders and members in an effective way: and.

Tuesday, March 07, 2006. The following appears in the NY Teacher:. To be effective, Weingarten noted in a letter urging members to join the campaign, we must understand that the union is all of us; it is the members who are the union . Our goal is to use this bitter recent contract struggle, and the ratification debate that followed, to build a stronger, more unified and more militant union membership that is prepared for the challenges that lie ahead. All too often in the contract ratification debate we...

Thursday, June 29, 2006. IN UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH. The recently announced 20 union bargaining coalition is clearly a milestone for the municipal labor movement in New York. All these unions have joined together to get their hands on the largest budget surplus in [city] history. With any luck, the rank and file of the UFT, and every other underpaid union worker in NYC, may make almost half of what a Unity DR makes.

Friday, July 28, 2006. Return To Bountiful, Part 3: Night of the Carnival. After a few minutes, I switched off the television and decided to take a walk to cool off. Once outside I felt better. The evening breeze was a welcome change from the oppressive heat of the room.I wandered the town in a random fashion, going up one street and down another until I found myself at the town athletic field where a summer carnival was going on. He grinned. "No problem! Col Casey's Oddity Emporium. I shook my head indi...

Saturday, April 29, 2006. IT'S YOUR CALL: THE SNOOPER SKOOPER OR THE POOPER SKOOPER? With Unity and the UFT it is often difficult to tell fact from fiction. You'll have to decide. Will Randi be getting a housing stipend from the DOE as part of the recent contract agreement? The allowance will enable her to move closer to Tweed, if plans to move her directly inside don't materialize. Or will a study of the LM-2 reveal that the number of 6 figure salaries in the UFT is actually MORE than the DOE? The UFT h...

Tuesday, January 24, 2006. A UNITY MOMENT BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE UNIFIED TEACHERS PARTY. Unity’s candidate (above) for the upcoming 2007 election is similar to the sitting ruler: both display a rampant disregard of democracy, and believe that preserving the absolute Unity monarchy is more important than fair and adequate representation for those that pay their dues.

Thursday, December 29, 2005. As many of you know there was opposition in the TWU including their VP John Mooney, who abstained from the executive board vote, that considered the return to work and subsequent contract a sellout. One reason may be the following correction to the tables I posted yesterday:. By the way: This should go to show that this is not a propaganda blog; it exists to be democratic and reveal the truth, not advance an agenda at all costs). Wednesday, December 28, 2005.
