I just assume that when you're dealing with the local (UFT) here... you're in effect dealing with the employer. (NYC DOE).

It's impossible to figure out where one leaves off and the other begins. Ms. Daretany is a case in point.

If you call UFT for help... and they ignore your call or email.... THAT's your answer. That's the *employer* speaking.

Maybe it's different elsewhere. That's the way it is here.
