NEWS FLASH... Interesting conversation happening on Andy Ford's page. I am sharing here because I unfriended him when I realized I no longer trusted his position as Regional director and head of the election committee at BTU. The election committee has proven to me to be stacked and totally unfair to Green Team. Andy Ford for those who do not know was the past President of FEA, and I respected him a lot. He was put in at BTU to make sure we had a "fair" election... but what I am seeing is another very UNFAIR election unfolding under his guidance. In addition to allowing a number of unfair doings, including the use of union resources and personnel to distribute literature promoting the campaign of the opposition, and finding NO MERIT in virtually every complaint Green Team has posed... under his guidance and supervision.... Green Team has been banned from schools by BTU Employees, SBBC employees, and now banned from entering my own union hall to use the RR. I do not see his presence as helpful at all. He (and the stacked election committee) introduced new election rules to the eboard... set parameters.... decided GREEN was not a "nick name"... and has made rules up to insure that we can not be more clever than the opposition. He promised that no new rules would be invented, but they have been. He also saw the county send out new language to rule out our existing contract language (a PERC violation) that states we are allowed on campus to state that we are NOT allowed on campus to campaigning during non instructional time. I can't say it was his decision... but he was not outraged by the county's intrusion... nor did BTU stop it from happening under his supposedly wise advisement of all things election. Here below a frustrated member asks him to explain..., and he does respond... which is what I can still say I respect in him. Sara Robin Srebnik
Tom James Tom La Porta Anna Fusco engaged in the conversation there. No longer being his friend on FB... I could not. Here is the clip.... I do begin to believe that Kalebra and crew... who got us into a dismal contract and awful work condistions and have done little to service members... is getting help in blocking Green every which way there is to get that help. Including... gifts and literature with FEA, NEA and AFT insignia dropped to member mailboxes by BTU staffers. ESSENTIALLY GREEN TEAM HAS BEEN BLOCKED FROM SCHOOLS, BTU, AND EVEN THE RR! By anyone and everyone in power... go figure!! hahahahaha

Sara Robin Srebnik to Andy Ford
Yesterday at 7:11am ·
Andy, can you please explain why dues paying members, who are also executive board members, were blocked from entering out union hall yesterday? The person who did it said it was on your orders, but I have a very hard time believing that. Thanks.

Andy Ford Even if I knew the specifics of what transpired yesterday I wouldn't get into the specifics in this forum. I can say there are BTU election rules that allow for campaigning outside of BTU meetings and meeting rooms; not during a meeting or workshop. The appropriate areas for campaigning at the BTU building would therefore be the parking lot, front sidewalk, and the building lobby.

Sara Robin Srebnik Sounds to me that they WEREN'T campaigning. And since Terry Preuss wasn't let into the building, she was barred on the assumption she would campaign. That is just wrong. My dues pay for this building and the salaries of everyone in it. I'm tired of this kind of treatment of members.

Tom James WHY are you guys asking Andy? He has no legal or constitutional authority over BTU elections. You need to refer to BTU constitution and bylaws. If Glickman and current administration is out of line then hire a lawyer and sue them. AFT nor any of their representatives has no legal standing in that BTU is not in receivership. You may wish to consult PERC to see if BTU committed any state election violations.

More the reason many teachers are DROPPING their local unions. FEA and local union membership is down across the state.

Tom James I would have to question WHY Andy needs an office at BTU except to do what I intoned in my last post. Just having him there in the building is not kosher. If the Green Team doesn't win I would advise all BTU members to quit. If Kalebra and her crew get elected you guys will never see another raise and will be totally screwed.

Tom James I think we can agree most ALL our teacher unions have failed members. AFT/NEA/FEA and most locals are useless shells of what they were. So called leaders in bed with the people they are supposed to be fighting. Big six figure salaries for officers and staffers while teachers get paid peanuts with raises that don't even match inflation.
