Many oldtimers told me back then how great it was to have seniority rights, be able to retire at 55, keep health benefits, put money away in TDA...all guaranteed. It sounded so good that I chose security and benefits over profit.

No way this passes.<br /><br />However, long term, what do I expect from Mulgrew? More dilution and compromise, eventually resulting in much more privatization for sure.<br /><br />Supposedly, this bill is a last gasp ass-kiss by Diaz for Bloomberg.<br /><br />What Bloomberg gets out of this is the formal introduction of removing seniority rights both in the public and legislative debate, and possibly in our contract talks,<br /><br />It's more of the drip, drip, drip that that has turned into a river.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-18841042179898453642010-04-15T05:15:43.502-04:002010-04-15T05:15:43.502-04:00And Ruben Diaz is no prize either.

Our union has acted "stupid" also, ignoring the Taylor Law,the prohibitor of all TRUE labor activism in New York, all these years, since its inception in 1967.<br />In 43 years, the union never demonstrated any real opposition to this law. As a consequence of the 1975 NYC teachers' strike,the union lost dues check off for a period of time, but it was restored. In the meantime, the chapter leaders collected dues by asking for checks from members. I expect things under Mulgrew to get worse before they get better. By that time, most of my [senior teacher] colleagues and I will be retired.Miss Havishamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-55139693737728348632010-04-14T19:54:25.715-04:002010-04-14T19:54:25.715-04:00Mulgtrew is a political animal.
