Why would he create thousands more ATRs if he doesn't intend to exploit the issue?<br /><br />He will be crying poverty, and bad economy, and all the rest in his personal, toilet paper tabloids next year, and how the ATRs are such a drain on society-while possibly dangling a meager salary raise in the process.<br /><br />Can you imagine a Mayor so rich that he can personally use the Daily News , Times, and Post to wipe his ass in public whenever he chooses? It's a disgrace to everything the U.S. used to be about.<br /><br /><br />You KNOW that ANY contract proposal will be linked to an ATR hiring time limit. Really, it's not going to matter that much, since THOUSANDS of pink slips will be given out every June when they start to implement the test data clause. If you don't get the test data right in any given year-you get an "Ineffective."

Similar to disability retirement. Maybe some ATR teachers will be so frustrated to go along with. ATR teachers with less than 15 years don't make much and are not expensive to keep.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-64011771682773450582012-05-20T08:27:59.366-04:002012-05-20T08:27:59.366-04:00With the Mulgrew sex scandal story in the Post, it...With the Mulgrew sex scandal story in the Post, it shows his compromised ability to represent the members.<br />-as I've discussed in my blog, <a href="http://nycityeye.blogspot.com/2012/05/why-post-scooped-mulgrew-sex-story-has_20.html" rel="nofollow">Why Post-Scooped Mulgrew Sex Story has Political Relevance.</a><br />His compromised position gives a clue as to why he is weak in his advocacy for the members on many issues.NY_Ihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07096916154657469029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-27971216227833712132012-05-20T08:05:57.600-04:002012-05-20T08:05:57.600-04:00MF:

What if Cuomo decides to weigh in? I think the potential dangers are great, even if Unity does intend to hold fast.<br /><br />On the other hand, September promises to be a train wreck, and there's a fair chance the public will blame Bloomberg, not us. Hopefully, the union is preparing to take advantage of that moment.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-34231388441441787772012-05-19T18:51:45.175-04:002012-05-19T18:51:45.175-04:00MF:
