She always does that - anything from within the union she doesn't like is either "divisive" or driven by ALEC or Koch Brothers.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-20378112765451766192014-02-03T18:50:51.778-05:002014-02-03T18:50:51.778-05:00Great update, Brian.

With this being a re-election year for the AFT, Randi needs Mulgrew and NYSUT to guarantee re-election. What she (nor Mulgrew/Pallotta) anticipated was a strong pushback against their agenda. They figured Iannuzzi would step aside because they told him to. They assumed that delegates of small locals either 1. Didn't pay enough attention or 2. Simply didn't matter. However many of those delegates they dismissed have been paying attention. And many others are beginning to see what's going on. Tremendous opposition is growing within NYSUT. Whether or not it is enough to defeat Mulgrew/Pallotta/Randi in the election remains to be seen. But understand that anything short of a landslide victory for that ticket is a loss. If Iannuzzi gets 25% it's a loss for Mulgrew-Pallotta-Randi. The higher that number gets the more of a blow it would be. 40% would be devastating. It will be important to pay attention to the final numbers because when they have elections again in three years the opposition will be organized and significantly stronger. But ultimately, as you have said time and time again, Randi's agenda is simply what is best for Randi Weingarten.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907560266226044066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-6204124532325253742014-02-02T20:20:41.427-05:002014-02-02T20:20:41.427-05:00Hold on to the bucking bronco, the next 2 months s...Hold on to the bucking bronco, the next 2 months should be fun.
