UFT Solidarity Goes Blah, Blah, Blah
http://www.southbronxschool.com/2015/10/uft-solidarity-goes-blah-blah-blah.html
In case you missed it, The Chief, the civil service newspaper did a piece on the upcoming UFT elections entitled "Bid to Topple Mulgrew in Next UFT Election", written by Dan Rosenblum.
Dan focused on the two factions, or caucuses that are attempting to unseat Unity, MORE/New Action and of course UFT Solidarity. For MORE/New Action Dan spoke with former UFT presidential candidate and MORE member James Eterno, currently an ATR social studies teacher, chapter chair, and union delegate from Middle College High School (What a resume!) and the leader of UFT Solidarity. The priorities could not have been more striking and contradictory.
James takes a holistic approach to the travails that are facing teachers;
“Evaluations of Teachers based on student test scores has got to go,” Mr. Eterno said. “Not 20 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent or whatever percent; it should be zero percent.”
