Nor has their dog NYSUT done anything to prepare for it either. Oh wait they're mobilizing their Vote Cope shakedown to hit us up for even more money beyond what they've already pissed away on donations to people like Flanagan. Fact is in times like this you gladly pay out to get balls to the wall union support. But when you see these clowns with no plan, no dialogue, no pretense of readying for the coming storm it pretty much tells you they have no ideas and nothing to offer. And when 2 of the top tier union people in 2 consecutive weeks take it upon themselves to attack working teachers in a public forum it assures me every one of my darkest fears about their ineptitude and incompetence is about to come true. By the way I never blamed NYSUT or UFT for the decision. I pointed out that they should be working overtime and pulling all nighters instead of attacking rank and file.

I blame them for being in bed with the enemies of public education. I blame them for supporting Common Core and threatening to punch anyone who went against it in the face. I blame them for encouraging Danielsen drive bys and expedited 30120-a hearings and being ok with using junk VAM scores and high stakes test scores in teacher evaluations. I blame them for using their voting block to unseat a resurgent Dick ianuzzi and install a Do Nothing Karen Magoo in his place. Had they not created such a shitty non representative relationship with their own members maybe we'd be working state wide together on our post Friedrichs war plan. But we aren't. You know why? There isn't one. You know why? Cause the fuckers we've been handing our money to don't have any idea how to plan for it. They just allow all kinds of terrible shit to happen to teachers then declare it a victory. But guess what? They can't do that this time because this terrible event is going to take gobs of money out of their pockets. So now that they actually have some skin in the game what are they doing about it? Attacking teachers. Still want to stick up for them? Donate to Vote Cope? Knock yourself out. I can use that dues money for gas.

What they really care about is shaking teachers down for cash above and beyond the union dues they'll be losing pretty soon. And who is fooled by this? I know, the usual suspects.

They used that same ad template on someone downstate too and I think it failed there.

From my understanding the whole case is going to be decided by one swing member of the court. Seeing that ya' can't bribe a supreme court justice, it makes no sense to really put the blame on the UFT here. (There are plenty of other things to blame the UFT for however)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811638297838636919.post-53825375490504852442015-11-23T18:49:01.838-05:002015-11-23T18:49:01.838-05:00Dear Mr. Crowley, perhaps you have not been comple...Dear Mr. Crowley, perhaps you have not been completely brought up to speed on the many ways that NYSUT is developing leadership. Perhaps this is because you have not heard of the most recent plan, by NYSUT, to develop leadership? Perhaps that is because even NYSUT itself is having trouble selling this turkey? But here is the scuttlebutt. As you DO know, there has been NO attempt by NYSUT or BTF to develop any any anything for lo these many years. But that is going to change! Yes! There are going to be "leadership" workshops! And teachers can go out to the swanky NYSUT offices in the Ville de Will (Williamsville) on the Boulevard SJ(Essjay). Yes! And "leadership" currently translates, in NYSUT-speak, to learning how to fundraise, at the building level, for VOTE/COPE! Yes, NYSUT has gotten a terrible feeling of fear and dread regarding Friedrichs. And, as a way of spreading the bad tidings, they will make a big push to fundraise. And so, Mr. Crowley, you may see no signs of "NYSUT organizing, strategizing, nut hoarding, or gathering supplies for the coming winter" but they ARE planning to get us out to headquarters to help our colleagues empty their pockets before Friedrich takes away the dues. Good tidings, Sir, and a very happy Thanksgiving to you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811638297838636919.post-15295503346716713892015-11-23T16:56:06.170-05:002015-11-23T16:56:06.170-05:00Those ads are terrible.
