Re: Recent UFT Job Posting on the Listserv (4/23/02)
4/30/02
Regarding the recent job posting for a head of archives & records program at the UFT, I think that it would be helpful for anyone interested to call me for further information about the position.
On Monday, April 15 I was fired from the UFT, given no reason for the firing, and told that I had a short amount of time to gather my personal items. I worked at the UFT for 12 years and set up the archives & records program in 1990. Before that, I had worked on the UFT collection in the mid-80s at the Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at NYU before leaving to work at Columbia University.
Prior to today, I have stayed off the listserv because I am still in shock and am having a really hard time functioning. If anyone would like to call me, my home phone is 914-762-8986. My business/professional email will remain the same for a while, because my address is through a private aol account. UFT does not have an intranet/network internet provider so we had to get reimbursed monthly for our aol accounts.
For the past year the organization has been hearing about down-sizing staff and buying-out long-time workers due to the upcoming UFT re-location near Wall Street. Nothing was offered to me after my long service to the union. It is especially difficult to understand how a labor union could treat a dedicated and hard-working labor archivist so badly. Unfortunately, I am not a unionized staff member so I have no organizational recourse-- no due process, no fair hearing, etc. Ironic, isn't it? Lucinda
