Dear Brothers & Sisters:
Chris Cerf and his charter school advocates have lost their bid to have seniority removed from each and every one of you. This has been a long battle, and it is not yet over as the Cerf allies are still trying to destroy your right to have a strong Teacher's Union by filing these cases throughout the country hoping that they someday will arise to the United States Supreme Court.
Please note that this litigation was aimed specifically at the strongest Teacher's Union in New Jersey, the Newark Teachers Union and we won! Your seniority has been secured!
In Solidarity,
John M Abeigon
President & Director of Organization
Newark Teachers Union, Local 481, AFT, AFL-CIO
