"As
a Building Representative, I've worked with Ted, and I know that
he always puts PFT members first — enforcing the contract, working
with elected officials and going to court if necessary to enforce
our rights."
Harriet Stein, teacher
Baldi Middle School

I
support Ted, Jerry and the CB Team wholeheartedly. They have
successfully defended the rights of all PFT members and they
work non-stop to improve the lives of retired PFT members as
well.

"With
the reelection of President Bush and a Republican Congress,
public school teachers face an uncertain future as the punitive
measures of No Child Left Behind go into effect. During these
turbulent times, we can't afford to elect unproven leadership.
I trust the capable, seasoned CB Team to represent my family's
interests."
Patrick Durkin, carpentry teacher
Swenson Arts & Technology High School

When
tragedy struck our school last year, Ted, Jerry and the entire
PFT staff was there to support our faculty and staff. The
PFT not only helps members by keeping them informed and engaged,
but they also reach out with compassion and kindness to members
and the entire school community in times of need.

When
the school district threatened to privatize all of the food
service manager jobs, Ted, Jerry and the CB Team successfully
defended our right to be represented. They understand our issues,
and they represent us well.
Steven Brinkley, food service mgr., Roosevelt Middle
School

"Ted Kirsch and Jerry Jordan have always been there
for all of the PFT's members. Our exceptional contract proves that;
it not only protects rights that we have fought for long and hard,
but more importantly, gives us the respect that we deserve. They
made sure that each of the bargaining units were treated fairly
and negotiated a contract that provides equity to all PFT members."
Erik Fleming, teacher
Thomas G. Morton Elementary School

"The PFT leadership team, headed
by Ted and Jerry, negotiated this contract diligently and with
the utmost professionalism. I admire their tenacity in the retention
of seniority rights, health care ad the length of the school
day. Ted and Jerry remained steadfast in their approach throughout
deliberations. This is leadership at its finest."
Mary G. Branigan, teacher
George Washington High School
 The
Kirsch-Jordan CB Team keeps us abreast of all the issues affecting
the education of our children. The Team stands up for what
benefits every member and keeps us strong, focused and active
around the issues that effect us.
