There are dozens of other stories to be told. Other officers, department heads, Representatives. All of these complaints covered up, people paid off in exchange for their silence. It’s a toxic culture and maybe members would ask themselves why they should care. One of the biggest complaints from members is abusive/ intimidating admin and the union has no protocol to deal with that and the individual member is left to deal with it themselves. Someone should ask the grievance department how many retaliation grievances have been brought to arbitration. The number is quite low. No case is ever strong enough. These things are connected when the union represents mostly women.

I think that UFT staff not being protected by a union says everything you need to know about the UFT leadership.
Has any UFT member in-service or retired asked Randi Weingarten why UFT staff is not represented by a union?
