"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.”
John Mickens, retired teacher,

"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.”
Mary A. Bonner, Teacher,
T.M. Pierce Elementary School

 

“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.”
Barbara Morris, teacher assistant, Bryant Pre-K Head Start

“As a Building Representative for many years, I’ve worked with Ted and I know that he puts the members first—enforcing the contract and going to court when he has to defend our rights.”
