Name change ---> from UNITY ----> to ImpUnity ?

Yea, as in “those ‘imps’ at Unity.

But seriously it would be progress if there could somehow be more “referendum” oriented voting on issues—which would not be difficult in this day and age in year 2026.

I’d even settle for surveymonkey polled UFT results—if no one would monkey with the surveys🤔😮👍

The thing about UFT surveys is they do not reveal the results. They take surveys for those million member committees and I have no idea who they share them with, or what they do with them. Then the big committees get no input into salary or health issues.

You're right, Arthur. They'll continue to get away with all this until we do something about it. A loyalty oath? Really?!

It's the Word of Mike. Or whoever replaces him. Cut off one head, and another grows in its place.

Ahhh, the post box. Where checks to the UFT for courses—remember them?-get fished out, rewritten and cashed—not for $10.00. But $400. Cashed by an unwary bank, or willing drug dealer. Teachers and related services providers giveth, do not receive, in turn.

You do good exposure of the UFT Mulgrew Unity click leadership. However when we need to expose the leadership you also to consider who can we unite with, otherwise we , the opposition , will always be a minority, not every question is a line of demarcation . We need to unite, discuss differences among our selves in a non faction form, when debate ends, we vote!

It is ironic that a TEACHERS UNION has such control over it's members. Then I realized a teachers union that holds their members mouths and actions.

The members fear that leaving UNITY will guarantee they are going back into the classroom.

That's the power -----Isn't that IRONIC & MORONIC
