Only Mulgrew has the chutzpah for trying to take credit for attempting to fix something that he broke. But what is worse is that he broke it on purpose —giving aid and comfort to management. Good leaders are motivators and create real unity with a small “u”. We will have a united union again but with people who do not mix up union and management.
Good point. I keep coming back to this--the worst thing they can say about you as a chapter leader is you're in bed with the principal. We've had a union president in bed with the mayor for a decade or more, and even as he says he no longer supports the things he himself enabled, he doesn't lift a finger to fix them.
Thank you Arthur Goldstein for persistently fighting against the stream of lies coming out of the Mulgrew machine. Mulgrew et al they pretend they are friends of retirees. Such pretense is more insidious and worse than having open enemies like Eric Adams.
Thanks for your kind words. Eric Adams' job is to be our adversary. However, like Mulgrew, he's up for election next year. We need to hold their feet to the fire. We all know what their words signify.
We already know that our unions changed our Emblem Health plan, opting for a cheaper one which will require US to pay the copayments. Perhaps it is this less expensive plan that also doesn't include MSK. Bottom line-everything was fine until Mulgrew got greedy and didn't want the UFT to pay for the teachers raises (which they definitely deserved).
Will a divided union encourage settlement or encourage management to hold out? This is a complicated negotiations, and, I fear management taking advantage of divisions among the unions. There is strength in Unity
Once again, I see no evidence you've bothered to read the piece upon which you're commenting. Those of us who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Unity has failed us again and again. I've given specific examples and you've willfully ignored them.

I can't deny that. Still, it's important we protect ourselves for now.
