I was hired under the ATR agreement to fill a scheduling void. I do, however, believe if the void is eliminated, so will I back to the ATR pool. Although greatful, I am vocal about my support of ICE. I other words a target. I have two and a half years to go until retirment. I signed the 55/25 and intend to make it naturally or in Fed court. If teachers are smart they will get together now and stop the genocide whether or not they are an ATR. Hopefully the complacent are learning based on the recent closings.VEGAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-18757109039829082302009-12-19T22:27:55.338-05:002009-12-19T22:27:55.338-05:00I agree with Anon.

Of course, these "reformers" would keep those questions in simply so they can continue to chew up and spit out teachers until college students get a clue and AVOID teaching like the plague.OTE adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09259422705314063194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-14206301155198643572009-12-19T18:50:45.087-05:002009-12-19T18:50:45.087-05:00To Anon 1:20 p.m.

Not only does it cost the employees 2 days of pay for each day of strike, and it also eliminates all the agreements made in the contract between the city and the UFT. Because of the Taylor Law, our expired contract continues to exist until contract negotiations are settled. No one should ever be in favor of a strike especially if the members lose money and rights to collective bargaining.<br /><br />The UFT have a strong cadre of intelligent and clever members and we will find a better way of dealing with the mayor, the chancellor and Tweed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-73922517510014620602009-12-19T17:07:10.141-05:002009-12-19T17:07:10.141-05:00With the exception of Anon: I gree with all of yo...With the exception of Anon: I gree with all of you. If Tweed really want to solve the ATR crises they could easiierly do so by imposing a hiring freeze until the excessed teachers are placed. The fact they refuse to do this says it all. They have no interest in resolving the problem they created. Their solution is to whine to the media.<br /><br />Anon:<br /><br />As for striking. his is not a realistic option and would play into the hands of Bloomberg and Klein. If you are a reader of my blog you would know there are better ways to deal with Tweed.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-11439551676493653312009-12-19T16:20:53.345-05:002009-12-19T16:20:53.345-05:00The most apropriate response to the ATR situation ...The most apropriate response to the ATR situation and the Closing of Schools is to STRIKE!! <br /><br />Pure and simple.

In fact, it would not have been created at all.<br /><br />I think they like using the ATR teachers as scapegoats--demagogues always need scapegoats. And if you believe, as I do, their ultimate goal is being able to fire teachers at will for any or no reason, you may believe things are not as bad, for them, as they are for us.<br /><br />And that's fine with them. What do they care about taxpayer money as long as they can blame someone else for it?NYC Educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12188066345722781723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-64697571855436486742009-12-19T12:50:47.715-05:002009-12-19T12:50:47.715-05:00The union and the DOE are playing head games with ...The union and the DOE are playing head games with the ATRs, forcing them to worry about even having jobs.

The DoE is at war with teachers, and seems happy to make a mess and blame it on us<br /><br />(2) the systematic damage which created the ATR pool is still in place: Open-market hiring, end of seniority and SBO transfers, 'fair' student funding, permanent reorganization including restructuring and school closings.<br /><br />Anything that alleviates the current situation, including your proposal (well, not just yours, but you made it here) is positive. But the DOE will be hostile, and even if we shrink the pool, they sit poised and ready to refill it.<br /><br />It's going to take more than good negotiators to fight back.<br /><br />JonathanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
