According the the Lowell Sun, "The state chapter of the American Federation of Teachers, which represents 22,000 public school employees, has forged an alliance with the AFL-CIO against a deal struck by the state's largest teachers union on legislation aimed at averting a divisive ballot campaign over merit-based hiring and firing decisions in public schools.
The AFT announced Friday morning that the union was not on board with the deal struck Thursday between the Massachusetts Teachers Association and Stand for Children on legislation that would prioritize teacher evaluations in hiring, firing and tenure decisions."

Tom Gosnell the president of the AFT should be commended for standing up to the terrorists.
In my opinion Tom fights for his members. I wish Paul Toner would stand up to Stand for Children.
Tonner is using the office of union president as a srpingboard to a political office. He is a turncoat and more likely to become the next governor of Wisconsin. It's a shame thta he as used his office for his personal future and sold the teachers down the river.
Can we vote for Tom to take over MTA?
Paul Toner needs a good whooping behind the shed!
Did anyone get the number of that school bus that we just got tossed under? Hey, I think Paul Toner was driving it!
The AFL-CIO and AFT-MA dropped their opposition to the bill a week ago after meeting with MTA and Stand and making some minor language changes that made it clearer that seniority could be used as a tiebreaker. They also acknowledged that the alternative legislation was far superior to the ballot initiative.
