Teachers Union Boss Randi Weingarten: My Salary’s Only $360K
Media Trackers ^ | April 29 2014 | Jason Hart

Posted on 04/29/2014 3:27:40 PM PDT by PoloSec

American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten, who was paid $543,150 last year, defended her compensation by claiming her pay is $360,000 and other reported expenses simply prove the union’s “transparency.”

As part of a series of April 28 Twitter posts demanding Congress hike the federal minimum wage to $10,10, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) District 1199 quoted from a January column Weingarten wrote for The Huffington Post.

“Justice means that hardworking people must have access to a living wage,” Weingarten wrote. AFT paid Weingarten $556,981 in 2012 and $543,150 in 2013.

When her 2013 pay was pointed out on Twitter, Weingarten made an awkward attempt to defend the gold-plated compensation she takes from AFT members and forced “fair share” fee payers in districts represented by AFT:

“Justice means that hardworking people must have access to a living wage,” Weingarten wrote.

And so they should. What does this have to do with minimum wage?

$360,000

That's just terrible. You'd barely be able to afford a Jag for yourself. Porsches for each of your kids would be out of the question.

Most teachers support this person’s high salary. Ergo, most teachers are stupid.

Weingarten's start as President of UFT was by appointment. From the NYTimes:

"After joining the union staff, Ms. Weingarten, 40, a labor lawyer, got her teaching degree and began teaching social studies and American history at Clara Barton High School in Brooklyn. Since Ms. Feldman's elevation to the national presidency, Ms. Weingarten has taken over much of the union's day-to-day administration and has become the public spokeswoman for the union's causes.

To fill out Ms. Feldman's U.F.T. term, which ends on June 30, 1999, Ms. Weingarten must be elected by the union's 90-member executive board, union officials said. That year of incumbency would give her time to develop her leadership style, raise her public profile and cement her relationship with the rank and file before she would be forced to run in a general election before the union's 130,000 members."


Weingarten's current partner in sin is apparently a Jewish Rabbi (????) Sharon KleinBaum.

Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."

Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."

Deuteronomy 22:5 "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God."

“Rabbi Kleinbaum served on Mayor Bloomberg’s Commission on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning (LGBTQ)”

Questioning?

“Questioning?”

I think that category is for people that find themselves committing homosexual acts but don’t want to accept their illness.

IMHO, they are lost, in darkness, wise in their own conceits.

Religions have mostly been hijacked by the devil’s minions, and the ‘rank-and-file’ has no idea what they’re actually promoting. (you can see this long, gradual process of hijacking if you research the college where the “rabbi” was “educated”).

Yet we should be joyous, should we not ? It’s all God’s will, and he will repay his enemies. The Scriptures make that abundantly clear.

Deuteronomy 7:10 “And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.”

Isaiah 59:18 “According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.”
