I appreciate that moment of frustration. However, isn’t it a bit hypocritical to say if you don’t show up you can’t lead when two aft/NYSUT delegate were too busy campaigning to come to the convention in Rochester? It was 3 days long and neither Amy nor Steve made so much as a cameo. At the convention right now. We are all here. Where are they?

I think an open debate of the Presidential candidates of all slates would be in keeping with the UFT's constitution of :

"To work for democratic administration and supervision."

In the interest of a fair and open debate on the issues why not have ABC and ARISE have a Zoom meeting for all UFT members and invite Unity to participate?

Okay. People change their minds. Michael Mulgrew was for Medicare Advantage now he is against it!

Voting starts tomorrow. There is still time for an open debate.

I would try again.

In my view Unity is a complete failure and Arise not only doesn't have a chance they are far to politically charged. ABC is the only slate focused correctly on bread & butter UFT issues.

Amy Arundell already offered, weeks ago, to Arise and Unity to participate in a debate. No response was given from either presidential nominee.

Amy Arundell is not interested in debate…only dabbling in substances.

Happy to read something where ABC isn't trashing ARISE or vice versa, instead placing responsibility for our ongoing unaddressed issues where it belongs, Unity, who've had more than a few decades in power without much to show in recent years. Still undecided how to vote, but it won't be Unity,.that much is certain.

Unity "leadership" is disgusting. They don't deserve to head the largest local in America. #VoteABC

ABC is a joke 🤡. Did you know they posted their cover photo with Amy Arundell holding a megaphone for 2023 contract in their push for “A Better Contract”? You can't make this up 🤣
