The only comfort is that no termination is seeked. However, DOE will only bring an extremely weak case to the expedited hearing. NO holds barred if they really have something solid on a teacher.<BR/>I am speechless, how UFT let this happen and help DOE to get away with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-88172067399160901962008-12-20T09:59:00.000-05:002008-12-20T09:59:00.000-05:00anon:Thanks for the compliment. I agree with you...anon:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the compliment. I agree with you that some of the NYSUT lawyers do not have the teachers interest in making settlements. However, I am not aware that NYSUT and the DOE is increasing and expanding the expedited 3020-a hearings. The speeding up of hearings seems to be the increase in both arbitrators and settlements.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-44791595503715302502008-12-20T09:49:00.000-05:002008-12-20T09:49:00.000-05:00Dear Chaz: At this website, you and some others...Dear Chaz:<BR/><BR/> At this website, you and some others posted many comments regarding 3020a proceedings. They are valuable resources for any teachers who are facing disciplinary actions from their principals and DOE lawyers.<BR/><BR/> Based upon my personal experience and some of my friends in the rubber room, I noticed a new trend of malicious collaboration between DOE and UFT to summarily punish senior teachers. In last few months, DOE with the complicit of NYSUT attorneys exploit the loophole, the expedited 3020a proceeding, in our 2005 contract , and use it not only on the cases limited to absences/lateness but on many other charges such as misconduct and incompetence. By doing so, DOE and UFT further weaken the 3020a protections, which has already been greatly weakened by our recent 05 contract.<BR/><BR/> The expedited 3020a proceeding was intended and clearly stated for the cases of absences and lateness, but by employing it on many other charges, DOE can summarily discipline (fine or suspension) any teacher they dislike at a low cost within a matter of few months.<BR/><BR/> To make the matter even worse , UFT not only helps DOE to get away with the abuse of the proceedings, its lawyers actually do not bother to inform, or even conceal from their clients of their right to reject the expedited proceeding and of their right to request a full regular hearing. Many teachers who are unknown to their right, have been summarily fined, suspended and turned into an ATR.<BR/><BR/> An enemy within is ten times more dangerous than an enemy from outside. No one can do more potential harm to a teacher than his or her NYSUT attorney. <BR/><BR/> I want every teacher to know that he or she does not have to take expedited 3020a proceeding forced upon them by DOE and sugarcoated by UFT lawyers. Please ask for a full regular hearing and force your principal to prove the case against you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-32339908395631828552008-12-19T02:57:00.000-05:002008-12-19T02:57:00.000-05:00Sad but true.
