Melrose is losing all strength in the system and the residents have been fooled by Brad Huchisons and the rest of the reps. in the city. The school is what will bring a family to this city and they are being lied too.
It happens everywhere in a lot of the school districts in the area. Melrose is not fixing the problem either so it makes staff have resentment to each other.
What I am hearing from source's is some principals or teachers will allow paras to come in late, go home early, park in visitor parking areas and have no duties. Some teachers classrooms are off limits to call for a para to sub. for the day.
Friends like that who needs enemies. This is the reason so much remorse in the MPS. Send your children to other schools. If the top is not supporting your teachers it will never work, and it is effecting the kids.
Violations when ever a para has to sub. for the day. You do not want me to give names on the employees that do this. So are you kidding me its done.
When teacher's have brown on their nose's they get to request what para they would like.

Call HR and find out the reason the superintendent excludes the paras in the staff directory every year. Or call PWL vice superintendent and ask if this is a discrimination against the paras. Then their boss would be the SC and maybe they would see why everyone except the paras are in the staff directory.
CT said under her she refused to put the paras on the staff directory because they always are transferred to other schools
A incorrect post from Prof. Correctipa Jr. watch your post.
Para 4. Your an ass and so obviously not an para.
No union or contract. No obligation on administration's part to offer paid time as in vacation weeks, holidays, personal time, sick time, longevity, PDP payment, no representation, no raises, no health insurance, no guarantee on hours, less than 20 hours no benefits, possible reduction in hourly pay. I hope everyone is aware just how serious this is. When you have a few union members conspire with management to control the outcome of who is in and out of office you know there is a ulterior motive or motives. MR and friends goal was to get a different president in office even though not a one of them were willing to do the job. But as far as administration goes, well their motives might have been darker, the dissolution of of the Para Union. Can't prove it. Might not be true. Wouldn't surprise me. Those who met with the powers that be were probably too stupid to realize what a dangerous game they were playing at every members expense. Shame on them.
Of course it was planned. How long are you paras going to let the treat you this way?
Why can't trader MLR take the presidents position till the paras come back and vote. We do not want the prier rats taking any position. We need the MTA's phone number. Is our rep. still Sam or Maryellen? This is another example of CT orchestrating against union members.We will never like everyone in the position just like DF could not stand MLR now we can understand why. What management job is MLR receiving for all the trading she did to all her members.
This is a very sad day for the paras. To think you were allowing someone to take over your union and it ends like this. No this is wrong and no old union members or rats are welcome to help in this situation. The union needs to take a vote this is still corrupted by staff and management. Well to find out that is why DD stayed in office the pass year so this could not happen. Be careful what you wish for. The rats that went to Panera please do not run for officer you are not to be trusted. MLR you should leave and take your pension we can never look at you the same.

Not for anything, but if the prior poster's language skills are indicative of the skills of all paras, we'd be better off if they were all let go. I don't want someone with such a poor command of the English language anywhere near my kids in a school setting.
Don't be a jerk. People are just typing their thoughts most likely on their phones. Who is this Marylou, someone from the mayor's office or admin? What's important is the message.
Who is MLR? She needs to stop making an a$$ out of herself and family. From a union member not happy with the middle school paras, CT and Conway for allowing such a disaster for staff, parents and teachers. This is a disgrace and MLRAT caused this mess.
Ahhhhhhh, now I understand, she's not a "trader", but a "traitor". That makes more sense!
Hey, c'mon this is just a scare tactic for the paras and union members. CT is giving her favors, pardons, paybacks, and what ever you want to call it. Go Cyndy!
I'll admit I don't know much about this so I'm asking other paras. I know that we have had these officers in the past President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary. I received an email with an electronic voting ballot for nominations. It had positions on it that have never been held and I don't think are in our union laws. To change things I know a vote is needed. This nomination email came from Marylou. She is not, has not and will not accept any union position. She started all of this mess. Who is she to change what kind of officers our union has. The nomination form had no VP and adds new positions. It's not that I think we might need changes. Who in the hell is she, the troublemaker and advocate to management that put us in this God-awful position to make these changes without our concent? If it came from our MTA Representative, who are they to make these changes?? Also, who even is our MTA person??? We never see them. The old woman and the young guy used to just drop by to show there presence and randomly speak to us. This new person, Mary? is no where to be seen. Another question. One year I was absent. I called our then president Diane to ask if I could vote by giving my vote to her, by email, text. The answer was NO. AND...is Marylou able to see who nominated who???? Who counts the nominations????? There were no names to chose from. I realize because of this whole disastrous game drummed up by Marylou, I use her name as she emailed about the meeting and all of this, we, the paras are in this conundrum and need to do something fast, but knowing she is the person who placed herself in charge concerns me deeply. If her name or anyone who is not pro-union becomes an officer I will change over to agency fee. My friend does it. It's less than half the dues. I've always been a union person. My husband is in a union but man this is disgraceful!!!!!!!!! One thing I do agree with is with a prior poster who said SHAME ON YOU MARYLOU.
DO NOT VOTE! WE NEED MTA NUMBER AND EVERYONE CALL.
CALL 617 878 8102 NEA CALL ASAP TELL WHAT IS GOING ON.
The president of the union is DF and she files a grievance for the paras to receive $500 dollars around ten years ago? Now, that is around $5,000 thousand dollars superintendent Casey agreed with? MR who is acting like the nurses secretary and not a para, did she get the money also? So if the president distribute to all the paras in the system they would have receive around $50 dollars. Sound like it was not done fairly.
I was one of the paras that received the $500. The reason was Diane the then union secretary spied on another para's check. That para was late by about 1/2 HR. because of the start time to get her son to school. She explained it to Casey and Casey agreed that that para could come in late. He was accommodating her need with a young child. After spying on the check Diane and Marie went to Casey. He agreed to give $5,000 to the para union to disburse in lieu of a grievance. Diane F. and Marie. the then president decided to disburse the money only to the mms paras with one exception, Marie received it as well and she worked at the hs. We were told to keep it quite but we didn't know the reason why. It was sneaky and excluded other paras. Why Casey didn't reprimand Diane for opening another person's check I don't know. Yes Marylou got the $500 too even though while hired as a para she was doing data entry for he nurse, her yearly assignment. Marylou was offeed the higher paying after school job working in the library which should have been posted. But of course she was called down and offered it my Brow. How nice for her. She didn't even have to complete her regular job, just go up to the library by 2:00, double dipping her pay. Meanwhile the majority of other paras were working like dogs except Diane who had three of the six block days free because you know, the secretary of a union needs all that time for union business. Oh and the irony in all of this was Diane was late everyday from driving her hubby to the train. What a farce.
Great to have! I will transfer those numbers in my phone now. I still thought Sam was our rep. I am not happy to know the president in a few weeks left this union officer's position.[/quote]
Good riddance. She's in the Mickey Mouse Club. We don't need another rodent. LG = Large Gopher as she'll go for anything MLR GS KB CT tell her to.
