Also. our medical benefits apply to all municipal workers and would not go away if the UFT crumbles. The city of New York pays for our medical, not the UFT. DO NOT BELIEVE any UFT shill who tries to tell you otherwise. I also agree that the only way to get the UFT to listen to it's members is to refuse to pay dues until they step to the plate. There really seems to be no other way at this time.
