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.

It seems, though, that the NYPD, NYFD, and DC-37 have failed to sign on with NY’s Brightest and join the epoch making coalition. Instead the coalition has reached out to the following unions: Australian Dingo Trainers, the Peruvian Lama Excrement-Fuel Local, and the Serial Killers of Southern California (local: 25-life).

Clearly they do not know that the UFT President is co-chairing the coalition. Once they find out, we expect them to sign on immediately, if not sooner. You need a professional to help you get rid of job rights and protections that it took decades to secure.

The DC37 exclusion is troubling, in that they've sold out the city on at least two occasions I recall.

The first, of course, was when they took 5% over three years, one of which was for givebacks, which killed us in PERB.

The last time was when Rudy was mayor. The UFT rejected a contract with two zeros and a 25-year maximum, about which Sandy Feldman you'd have to be "smoking something" if you thought you could do better.

DC37 then voted for the double-0s, and every city union followed in lockstep. The vote was later found to have been rigged, and DC37 heads went up the river for it.

The UFT revoted and passed the double seros. However, the maximum was reduced from 25 to 22 years, a significant improvement.

Too bad we didn't reject the last contract, the very worst I've ever seen. Too bad we gave away work gains we paid for with zeros for less than cost of living.

The Unity party has a fine tradition of self service to uphold. The ever deteriorating state of our union is a product of its leadership working full tilt to secure themselves a better quality of life.
They've discovered their best course of action is to sell out the membership and work with the DOE and Mayor to secure high salaries and double pensions while putting up a token resistance to appear legit to a basically apathetic membership.
We have to take some of the blame for Unity's plundering.

Typical UTP rhetoric, sarcastic and slanted. I hoped that a new group of writers would be more reasonable and sensitive to the profession and work to improve things by point out what's RIGHT with our union rather than pointing out what's wrong with it.

How does pointing out what's right improve things. It's traditional to fix what is wrong, I believe, not what is right. Are you suggesting that all of the UTP's reforms are not needed and that everything is just fine?

That's kind of like what the Bushies say about the NY Times.

Why can't they support this war, despite the fact it's predicated on lies, and every justification we come up with is just as flawed as the last?

Then, they accuse them of treason for telling the truth. Too bad they sat on the domestic spying story till a year after the election. We're all paying for that.

When I was in East Berlin in 1984, they sold Pravda on every corner. The Germans, however, had the good sense not to buy it.

Good things about the Unity/UFT leadership:

1. Great food at the Exec Bd meetings.

2. Hummmmm! Give me some time. I'll think of something.

Remember, just because you're doing lunch duty, teaching a sixth class, working a longer day and year, and subject to unpaid suspension for nothing, that doesn't mean Unity isn't making sacrifices.

For example, they just agreed to keep the office open a whole extra hour each week.

Our union's concern for us is overwhelming. They really know how to take care of themselves. They are awesome.

How about this:

Albany passes 55/25 pension bill and Taylor Law reform

The State Legislature passed in June a temporary 55/25 early retirement incentive and Taylor Law reform – two pieces of legislation high on the UFT’s political agenda this year. Both measures await Governor Pataki’s action.
