Report: Weingarten to Retain UFT Position Upon Move to AFT Presidency
United Federation of Teachers chapter leader James Eterno reports on the ICEUFT Blog that UFT President Randi Weingarten announced her intention to retain her position in New York City if she decides to run for the presidency of the American Federation of Teachers in July.
Incumbent president Ed McElroy announced his retirement last month, paving the way for Weingarten. She is the only viable candidate.
Both Al Shanker and Sandy Feldman stayed on as UFT presidents after assuming the AFT mantle, but times are different now. It's likely that surrogates will handle the day-to-day operations at UFT.
