(please click through to see the slides and details).On Monday,
@OSSTFD20TEACHER
(Ont Sec School Teachers' Fed, District 20) announced that their rules would be changed so that each non-white union member would have his/her vote weighted more than white members. Here are the slides they used to justify the decision to rank & file
There's no set weighting, but for future votes, a quorum is achieved only if 'Black, Indigenous, or Racialized' votes make up at least 50 per cent of the voters. If they do not, their weighting will be changed to be equal to 50 per cent.
Some racist skkkumbag teachers called this 'reverse racism', and so the local union president said the term 'reverse racism' was 'harmful' and a form of 'harassment'.
I hope and pray political systems everywhere take on this stunning and brave antiracist approach. One person, one vote is just another manifestation of a world rooted in white supremacy.
