A union that's forgotten its members

It really shows you the state of our union that this podcast never features teachers, the workers who actually make up the UFT and whose dues pay Mr. Mulgrew's hefty salary. I think the UFT bureaucrats often forget who makes up the union while in their fancy offices making more money than the most veteran of teachers. Mr. Mulgrew is so determined to partner with the city, he asks them if he can make concessions.
