You see, Senator Klein was one of two Democrats in the State Senate to vote for changing the LIFO, or, seniority laws in NYC. But, is he not a friend of labor? Why would he put the screws to the UFT and teachers, yet he is out there on Fordham Rd getting all buddy buddy with Verizon workers? More on that in a bit.

Verizon adheres to seniority rights for its unionized employees. Is this not something that Sen. Klein derides? Also, with Sen. Klein's attempts at repealing seniority rights for teachers, this would have the affect of the most senior and valued teachers losing their jobs to low paid newbie teachers. But isn't that part of why the Verizon workers went on strike? To forestall Verizon to continue hiring more low paid new workers? Sen. Klein, you are confusing me!!!

So it got me to thinking. Really thinking. Perhaps Sen Klein truly, in his heart of hearts, believes in the repeal of seniority rights? Nah, too simplistic for a politician. Perhaps Sen. Klein hates teachers and loves Verizon workers? Perhaps, but not quite. Perhaps Sen. Klein gets a lot of money from organizations that wish to deprive teachers of their seniority rights? BINGO!!!!!!

4. n/t usually means "no text" It's usually at the end of a subject line...

so people will know they don't have to look down here. :)

Sometimes people use eom to do the same thing.

I, OTOH, never use either, because when I have nothing to say, I want people to hear it!:silly: :silly:

2. UGH. He's my state senator. He'll hear from me in the morning.

And the local media will hear from me later in the week.

And no, I didn't vote for him. I always skip the local general elections cause DEMs are automatically elected and usually they are allied to and corrupted by the local DEM machine.
