UFT elections: New Action/Unity Joint HS Slate
The UFT Executive Board is up for election. TJC and ICE are running a joint slate. Unity and New Action are running independent slates, but have cross-endorsed several candidates. Among the at-large seats, Unity has cross-endorsed 5 New Action candidates. They appear on the ballot as New Action/Unity. And in the high school division New Action has 3 candidates cross-endorsed by Unity, and Unity has 3 candidates cross-endorsed by New Action. In addition, New Action cross-endorsed Randi Weingarten for President.
I am particularly pleased with the high school cross-endorsement. If I didn’t cast a “slate” vote the first Unity member I would have voted for would have been my District Rep, Lynne Winderbaum. And now she’s on my slate!
