Outrage Spreads Throughout New York City And State At The Sell-out of Members' Rights By The United Federation of Teachers (UFT) And the Unity Caucus

NYC UFT officers are members of Unity, not the UFT. Yet Mike Mulgrew, President of the UFT has the authority to bargain for all members, and has at his side Attorneys Carol Gerstl, Adam Ross, Richard Iannuzzi (NYSUT) and NYC NYSUT Chief Claude Hersh. The recently released teacher evaluation data is sending a roar of protests through NYC as more and more UFT members demand that the UFT change its' ways and it's "support" of members' rights which no longer exist. I saw this first hand when I worked for the UFT. Betsy Combier

When is a fact a Law? What is the process of getting government information from our government under the Freedom of Information Law? Heavy questions that should be answered. I also believe that UNITY, the ruling class at the UFT (not UFT members) should look at how its' actions are unconscionable.

Maybe our government and all its' agencies dont want their business to be public, just as private entities dont want that information
