It was a good time to get a better deal for ATRs, and it was a good time to get rid of the frivolous observations by field supervisors. They could have done a temporary hiring freeze until all the ATRs would be placed. Again we were sold out like always.<br /> We did not get none of the above.

This would let them retire and/or quit and get somewhat equivalent money. I must say I don't know how many people that might be? I'd guess not many, certainly not enough to sell out the rest of the ATR's to be placed by borough with no choice in assignment. I mean wow, the change from District to Borough is a really big deal. Given what I believe the City is trying to accomplish with an offer like this, why not have just negotiated another retirement deal and offer it to anyone who can retire with the simple incentive that they can have the rest of their retro right now and get out (yes it should be pensionable). As for ATR's the only thing that should have been negotiated is if they want to quit they can have their retro and leave. Why in the world the UFT would agree to forced placement borough wide is just plain stupid.Unitymustgo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14117390123313141745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-70309851028803809162017-06-03T20:15:20.756-04:002017-06-03T20:15:20.756-04:00The BIG thing is the principals are refusing to hi...The BIG thing is the principals are refusing to hire us and the DOE won't force them.
