Incredible! Years ago I was connected with a gentleman who was giving books to needy schools…free, no strings or money attached. He sent us something like 500 books. They were supposed to be for my classroom which was Pre-K. Not all the book were pre-k level so I shared them with other teachers who were thrilled to get books for their classrooms. I thanked him and told him what I did. He was thrilled. He didn’t ask for a dime or advertise his philanthropy.
The Union seems to be loving dealing with nonunion companies as they did when a deal with UHC was made. But to ask teachers to spend money on jewelry to get a library? Why not just buy books for your classroom as I and other teachers did/do through Teachers Choice or through a tax deductiion or just because? There are many philanthropic sources out there that are willing to help children. Why isn’t the Union seeking out those sources?
Daniel is relentless. Others may think they never relent, but Daniel relents even less than them. Once he lent me five bucks. But I never paid him back and he never relent.
I just looked up the rating system on Good on You. Kendra Scott's rating of "Not Good Enough" is only a 2 out of 5, or 40%. Kendra Scott is well below failing across the board. For Enviromental Policies, Kendra Scott received a "Poor" rating of 1 out of 5, or 20%. Workers are paid minimum wage and are non-unionized. There are many other businesses with more ethical and sustainable labor practices. UFT needs to drop this partnership with Kendra Scott and work with someone who shares our labor values.
any surprise whatsoever that the powers that be in our union would do something like this when it treats members of the union who are not unity the way they do? when they fired union workers to hire a non-unionized company to answer phones and deal with members calling? when they fire people they don't like on whim or because they feel like it, one of the very things that unions were started to prevent? one only has to wonder what they are getting personally to arrange such a deal. it can't just be for a few libraries at a few schools.
Wonder no more. Every person who decides to pull stunts like these makes a full teacher salary, perhaps another on top of it, and a second pension funded by lucky folks like you and me.
Thank you for making us aware of this, Arthur. Taking a page out of trump's playbook. Seems like the UFT gave away access to the union members for only 20%? And they're negotiating our Healthcare? We are in trouble.

Thank you for exposing this highway robbery.

I don’t recall the five bucks… but I remember relenting with you on Medicare Advantage 😉

Thanks Maggie, and we are indeed. That's why we need them out of there, ASAP.

You've got a way with words, Mea.
