Marina, Jillian and I went together to the big Union Rally at City Hall yesterday. (We never caught up to the others until... well that's another story.) Union members from all over the city and state, were present to raise our voices to the powers that be. Yes, we understand cuts need to be made. Check where there are duplicitous positions, non-essential positions and unnecessary, costly drains on the budget, and then act accordingly. As an educator, I believe people who are brought in from other countries and paid grand theft dough to teach us how to teach our own children should no longer be part of the equation. I've heard their daily salaries are at least $750.00 daily and I've heard as high as $900 daily. They are not doing anything we can't do at a much lesser cost to the system. I'm sure those in question have a very different perspective. This is just one woman's opinion. At the rally, I wore my white UFT knit cap, just like everyone else, this pic of me was taken in my friend's ride.
