As one former Teacher’s Union member explained to me, ‘our job is to babysit them until they go to prison’.
“Some teachers were furious”
Rock ‘em, sock ‘em unions.
Rally dot yeah! And these are the asshats that teach a lot of the kids out there? Nice. Maybe they can recruit their students for extra credit towards their community service credits. Guess I’ll go hurl my taco salad now. ;>{>>>>>>
How does participating in (FBI snitch) Al’s protest fit in to the mission statement of a teacher’s union? Hey Teachers, keep paying those dues, ok? It’s for the children, after all.
Be a real shame if the Ferguson PD found out who these teachers’ union reps are and their license plate numbers.
I sent copies of the flyer to a bunch of colleagues, none of whom had even heard of this.
The union just decided to take our dues monies to squander on crap like this, and our collective good professional name to besmirch by associating it with thug actions like this. They are even paying for a bus to transport any idiot who want to participate in this, flyers to advertise it, etc.
Also, I am extremely angry that they are siding with THUGS against a fellow union, the police, whose help we may someday need.
Personally, I do NOT support any of the organizations participating in this garbage--National Action Network, ACORN, and the NAACP. I recently turned off my automatic $1 payroll contribution to supposedly political causes for the dear old UFT after I saw it supplying warehouse space that MY dues paid for to Occupy Wallstreet trash and using the money for a bunch of other actions which had nothing to do with the welfare of its members.
The UFT's purpose is supposedly to help their members, which they do VERY little of. Nowadays, they are just a de facto extension of the mayor's office, consenting to measures that screw the members over. And we have to pay dues for this! Most assuredly, their purpose is NOT to support street thugs like Sharpton, who makes his money by threatening to sic his thugs on businesses and government entities unless he's paid off under the table.
Still wondering where Sharpton was when the Capitol Hill Police shot & killed an “African American” driver.
Boomlakalaka....
As a former NYC teacher I say it is time the members remove Mulgrew.He is not interested in the good teachers or the children.Al Shanker would be mortified to see a UFT President selling out another Union.This could be the end of Mulgrew.Good riddance to the lightweight.
A way of allowing the cretans to loot as a part of reparations
All in all they’re just another brick in the wall.
There should be counter-protesters in an Anti-"teacher" rally.
It wouldn’t surprise me if the mayor was one of the sponsors.
