HOW WEINGARTEN DROPPED THE EEOC AGE DISCRIMINATION CASE: pressure FROM HER OWN STAFFERS!THIS IS FROM PATTY CRISPINO WHO HAD AN AFTER SCHOOL JOB ON THE 12TH FLOOR AT UFT.SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME A COPY OF THE PER SESSION LIST AFTER TEACHERS COMPLAINED SHE WAS HOGGING IT -OVER $12,000 A YEAR. Jerry “The Hilton Man” and others sent smimilar letters bashing their members. THen Randi, who wrote the complaint with nepotism hire Adam Ross and Joe Bruno’s hand-holder Carol Gerstl all pointed fingers at each other for not “vetting” the teachers properly. One of the teachers who Randi bashed -from her own complaint, recently won a huge settlement from the DOE-she had to hire her own lawyer because Adam Ross and Randi wouldnt defend her.This letter from Crispino shows how corrupt Randi and her minions were and are.Sent: Sunday, February 19, 2006 11:12 AMTo: RWeingarte@aol.comSubject: age issuesDear Randi,Thank you for saying hello the other night. It was a nice event and nice to see you.It has come to my attention that several people from my school are mentioned in the age discrimination suit. I have some concerns about the accuracy of what I read.I made several contacts to raise some concerns, but I am not sure what I had to say was appreciated. The DOE legal has been in my building a lot about this.Here is what I know:NAME REDACTED BY JIM said that she was not given a student teacher, when in fact it was an SVA she was not given. The selection committee which was made up of mostly UFT members, selected a person in the SVA’s licence area and a person who was older than Diana.Another person NAME REDACTED was mentioned and she has a letter in her file for using an ethnic slur on the elevator to a bunch of people. She also would get caught not having a lesson plan and would provide one later, written on a napkin. ( I think this is in an observation report, in her file)Another member mentions named REDCATED Students complained that she is always talking on her cell phone in class when she should be teaching. She has since fallen in the classroom hitting her head. She then came back to work and left a week later applying for disability using an injured knee for the reason, but in her file is record of the knee being a preexisting condition. The original fall does not mention the knee.When Mr. Resnick was going to U rate 22 people, I asked him who would he let transfer, he mentioned 4.REDACTED was one of them. I took her out for drinks and told her they were going after her. She replied several times that she was a good teacher. I told her that might be true, but that she is not rating herself, they are rating her and they don’t think she is a good teacher. In short, she did not transfer and did get the U rating. Randi, many of the staff do not like the way she treats the students. NAME REDACTED the administration feels does a dog and pony show. In the current New York Teacher, REDACTED is quoted several times. It does not put things in a good light at Graphics nor is it accurate. I am also concerned that I now have lost some of my negotiation ability and that this article is going to divide my chapter. This worries me greatly.Being an election year for chapter leaders, Graphics being on the SURR list and how hard it is to unite our members in these troubled times.The majority of the staff are happy about the people that got U rated. They are also behind Mr. Resnick, who cleaned up our halls and is trying to make positive change and get us off the SURR list. Michael Mulgrew knows Resnick, he was AP Security at his school.I need your guidance.In solidarity,Pat
