UNITY ATTEMPTING TO SUPPRESS OUR LAWFUL PETITION CALLING FOR A MEMBER VOTE ON CHANGES TO HEALTHCARE

Sign the healthcare referendum petition and let Mulgrew's leadership caucus know: WE ARE THE UFT. LET US VOTE! - Repost: https://iceuftblog.blogspot.com/

Unity is in panic mode over our petition to get a member vote on any healthcare changes. Thousands have already signed.

You don't need chapter leader or district rep approval to sign a petition. It is your UFT constitutional right and US Constitutional right.

It is up to all of us to join the thousands who have already signed the petition demanding a full member vote on major changes to healthcare.

The UFT Constitutional language:

Article V, Section 10

At the written request of one-third (1/3) of the entire membership of the Executive Board or of ten percent (10%) of the membership of this organization, the Executive Board shall submit to a referendum vote any matter except a proposed amendment to this Constitution and matters relating to the admission, suspension or expulsion of members.
