UFT – Two (new) Chapter Meetings per Year
No, no, that’s not the number we want. But for schools where meetings do not occur, we could get them up to two without too much effort.
My district rep spends most of the middle of her days in schools. In fact, she gets to each school (lots, since we are in prime mini-school territory) at least once each term. For us, we like seeing her (except during contract negotiations, but even then I think we are fairly polite).
But in some newer schools, the DR’s arrival is a meeting. A meeting in a school where they may not otherwise be meeting. It does not solve our problems, but it is a beginning. We need to take those beginnings where they occur.
I understand, btw, that these meetings were supposed to be taking place in all the districts. Are they?
none taking place in my school
We had the DR in once when we requested it after starting the grieving process. That was in October or so.
This should be, in theory, easy to fix. I don’t know in practice how hard it will be.
