Letter From President: Democracy is Not an App, nor a "Like" a Vote

Dear Brothers & Sisters:

Recent headlines document that our struggle to survive is real. Attacks on Seniority (LIFO), attacks on tenure, etc. Our well-funded enemies are still everywhere. With this contract ratification vote on May 11^th 7 a.m.-7 p.m. We have an opportunity to show the boss that we do care about collective bargaining agreements, we do care about students, contracts, benefits, and all the promises and protections these provide. Union Democracy is not an app, nor a "Like" a vote. Here at the NTU, we gets calls every week from charter school teachers wishing they had a contract
