When you're a Unity You're a Unity all the way From your first cigarette To your last dyin' day.... Opening line from my newly created Unity Caucus theme songUnity Caucus is an enemy, but not all Unity Caucus members are enemiesMonday, Oct. 23, 2023
A major story in the UFT has been the recent removal of Queens borough rep Amy Arundell, popular with Queens chapter leaders and some rank and file, and even within Unity. There have been petitions going around in her favor calling for due process for her, and even a few Unity people have offered support for Amy. Also a lot of misinformation, some spread by anonymous anti-Amy forces in Unity. Claims she did stuff at the DA last week are not true -- she may have said some things at the rehearsal for the DA before the meeting. Yes, darlings, Mulgrew has to hold a rehearsal for a meeting. There has been some longer term friction between Amy and Mulgrew, as I chronicle below.
Some think AmyGate will cause a deep split in Unity. We hear there is a level of anti-Mulgrew sentiment due to his leadership style, but a revolt? You will see further down my treatise on how Unity operates like any totalitarian regime to keep control.

Some in opposition made various cases for these issues in various degrees and that is a narrative thread that we’ve woven.I didn’t see a throng of Unity supporters for Amy. A handful of Unity light and those who really don’t care or know about caucus politics.What was eerily missing, and expected ,was any Unity staffer … not one willing to speak out on any of those issues. Not even Amy herself.That’s the reality here. Our wishes and desires don’t match the reality of the room. A room of Unity staffers and Unity electeds beaten and bribed into submission.As long as that’s the case we chase our own tails .
