Fellow UFT members, ask your delegates,
“DELEGATES, CAN YOU AFFORD TO SUPPORT THIS CONTRACT?”
In the new expedited process an ATR's career can be cut short promptly:
The charge from just two principals that he or she is “unprofessional” (which is not spelled out) will end their tenure, without due process.
–--Can we really trust that principals will not create frivolous trumped up charges?
How safe are you from becoming an ATR?
--Is your license the next to be eliminated?
--Is your school losing enrollment?
--Is your school getting a co-location?
--Do you think your principal likes you –now?
And why are we agreeing with merit pay and with putting 200 schools outside of union protection?
Why does 75% of retro pay does not come until October 2018?
"These [ATRs] are good teachers, mostly from closing schools. But rather than create a win-win situation, the system - despite repeated requests - refused to deal with these issues." --UFT then president Randi Weingarten, April 10, 2008 – How far have we come from then? |
