Looking over my whole career, it was the old time Unity people who always solved any problem I had. When I retired, my pension was calculated wrong and had the wrong start date. It was Sandra March herself who got it fixed in days after 11 months dealing with the patronage crew. She even personally came to my house to tell me vshe fixed everything and was even sent a letter of apology from TRS. It saddens me what Unity has turned into, but it makes sense that it is us old-timers (and I hate that word) that will bring the UFT back to its original purpose and ideals. Never under-estimate a baby boomer.
I was reluctant to retire because I felt it would render me less relevant as an education writer. We are so lucky to be here at this time, on the crest of this movement. I can't get over it.
The fact that UFT employees are not organized speaks volumes. You would think that Randi Weingarten would insist ,as a unionist, that these employees be represented.
You might think that, but they aren't, and everything is at the whim of Unity's Mulgrew, and the "very smart people," also Unity, who advise him. I will have more on that very soon.
