When Will Randi Announce Her Endorsement of Bloomy?

 

       Three days ago I read a stomach churning article from the Hill that quoted Randi speaking glowingly about Bloomberg. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/483243-union-leader-bloomberg-can-go-all-the-way.  Unfortunately,  I was eating lunch at the time and had to go to the restroom for a purge. I thought of this today while perusing another blog in which a commenter said Randi met with Bloomberg while he was deciding to run for president. Not a surprise. I guess she convinced him. I’m not joking. Bloomy is the most hated man in the UFT, if and only if, you define the UFT as it’s rank and file. So I have to ask, what does she get out of it - assuming the it is an AFT endorsement? It’s gotta be the Secretary of Education spot. This paragon of unionism made the same deal with Hillary Clinton to thwart the masculine beasts known as Bernie Bros from getting Bernie the nomination. I hope this post finds its way to her eyes and ears. Perhaps it will shame her to the point that she publicly denounces Bloomberg. What happened to that charming, intellectual, ethical young woman I used to run into on Fire Island? If she endorses Bloomberg, (which this article seems to allude to, through her statement that Bloomberg can beat Trump), it will be yet another major betrayal to everything that is unionism and the AFT members she is paid to represent. Bloomberg is much, much worse than Trump. The veteran teachers in NYC know it, but obviously all those school closings and ATR babysitting jobs, don’t enter her conscience. All she did was convince us that what was right for Bloomberg was right for us. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Don’t be fooled again.
