Double Standard Galore

Are deputy mayors facing the ax? How about borough presidents? They should have gone the way of the Board of Estimate.
Let's keep dumping on teachers. Let's keep giving up everything in contracts. What's next? Working a 15 hour day?
We're the only union who gave up so much and we get a good kick in the rear end for doing this. Is this the best that the UFT can really do? What kind of leadership have we allowed ourselves to be subjected to?
Let's amend the UFT constitution. All elected officials must have first taught for a minimum of 10 years. Too many UFT officials either never taught at all, or briefly taught. You need to be in the trenches to know what is going on.

Oy, Randi- When Will You Ever Learn?

No surprise whatsoever that Mayor Bloomberg is threatening to fire 15,000 NYC teachers. Our union had no business to give up what they did in 2005 in order to get a couple of bucks more. The city viewed this as weakness and now they're really going after the UFT with a vengeance.
When thousands of pedagogues were laid off in 1975, most never returned and the students suffered for that. Are we destined to make the same mistake again?
I am also upset that Randi Weingarten referred to Kristin Gillibrand as great. Great? This woman is the modern day Annie Oakley. The right-wing N.Y. Post even published my comment about her.
Who will we support in the mayoral race. If we dare to support Mayor Bloomberg for reelection, we will be the laughing stock of the century.
