Strikes *never* get called from above; always from rank and file. Now, would seem the time to do something statewide. Moral is at an all-time low. Teachers leaving in droves, nationwide, and in New York. Can't get new teachers. And these corrupt politicians don't give a sh*t if everyone is against them, b/c the donors will buyout opponents. . . Unless we flip the script by agitating and forcing the issue. Statewide job actions!

I remember that my 4th grade teacher actually lay down at the entrance to my elementary school bus circle to prevent buses from entering! I remember that later on, one of my junior HS English teachers was jailed for supporting a local teacher strike and encouraging teachers to walk off their jobs in violation of the Taylor Law. Why do I bring this up?<br /><br />It is time that teachers across this state make a stand. All the VOTE/COPE $$$ in the world does NOTHING. Last November we took a trouncing because we were simple outspent by the charter school-hedge fund backed politicos who turned their back on our teachers and public schools. <br /><br />If Albert Shanker were still alive he would advocate that NOW is the time for teachers to make a stand. Force the issue. Call out Cuomo, Tisch and Elia. Force the issue. Make the headlines and let's take back this state. I am sick and tired of NYSUT and the likes of the UFT and AFT who have all been bought out.<br /><br />Time to revolt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-5300599858612109512015-09-10T11:10:25.657-04:002015-09-10T11:10:25.657-04:00I am interested in push-back and accountability fo...I am interested in push-back and accountability for NYSUT leadership. When can we have a full-throated, sustained and meaningful conversation about holding NYSUT leadership accountable for the past year, past decade, of the worst labor leadership in American history?????? I mean this. <br /><br />Taking back the only real apparatus available to us for a sustained, meaningful voice to counter corporate-political power is truly the most meaningful and real first-step we can have in fighting the reformers' onslaught. <br /><br />2 days ago, at our first union meeting, we were handed a sheet breaking down our local's financial details. On it were breakdowns of our dues and where they go. NYSUT and AFT were the biggest chunks by far. I do not want my money going to support the leadership in place in any way. There is no "good" that will come of it. NYSUT has shown, time and again, that their actions and campaigns only succeed in providing for ever-larger victories for the Cuomo/Reformer side. These people would F up a wet dream. Their fingerprints on anything always leads to us losing. The operating philosophies, thinking, assumptions, ideas, strategies, and tactics that guide and emerge from NYSUT leadership are all half-assed, toxic, misguided, shallow, and fundamentally flawed. <br /><br />NYSUT is part of teachers' problems in NY State.<br />McGee and the leadership team at NYSUT specifically are part of teachers' problems in NY state. <br />Weingarten is part of teachers' problems nationally. <br />Etc Etc Etc.<br /><br />We can only fight the reformers once we fight our first problem.
