MORE's Latest Request for Equal Access From Leadership

Posted on 16:08 by viju
Past experiences with gaining equal access to fellow colleagues during this election season have proven, well, disappointing. So when Peter Lamphere, one of MORE's young and brilliant leaders, sent Amy Arundell (the Unity person who they contact to make sure that the election is being held fairly) this email, it piqued my interest.



Dear Amy,   
As per Landrum-Griffin, we request the right to have a MORE election email sent to the UFT email list.   
Thank you,    
Peter Lamphere for MORE

The email was sent sometime before 10:00 PM on March 18th, 2013.


ps ...When he mentions Landrum-Griffin,  he's referring to this federal law which (among other things) requires a union's leadership to act appropriately during times like these. I'll publish some commentary about this tomorrow and link it back here.
