Why We Need Independent Voices on the UFT Executive Board

Unity Caucus is not satisfied with holding over 90% of the seats on the Executive Board.

High School teachers will get to decide whether they want to maintain the only 6 independent voices out of 89 on the UFT Executive Board by voting the ICE-TJC slate when the ballots go out on March 9th.

High school teachers who vote the ICE-TJC slate will be casting their votes for:

James Eterno, CL Jamaica HS, Exec. Bd. member for 10 years
Jeff Kaufman, CL Island Academy, Exec. Bd. member for the pst 3 years
Sam Lazarus, CL Bryant HS
Nick Licari, CL Norman Thomas HS
Marian Swerdlow, Delegate, FDR HS
Peter Lamphere, Bronx High School of Science

Unity Caucus is not satisfied with the control of 93% of the Executive Board. So they have enlisted their partners New Action to run for the 6 seats ICE-TJC presently control. The Unity/New Action candidates will be on the ballot on both the Unity and New Action lines. Their combined vote total will be tough for the ICE-TJC slate to top.

ICE-TJC needs all high school teachers to rally behind the ICE-TJC slate and stop this naked attempt to remove independent voices from the Executive Board.
