Phila Federation of Teachers

The union have to do a better job of screening their building rep in the schools. The building reps are not for the staff and they are throwing staff under the bus working along side with administration. The building rep are not telling the union staff the truth. They are sharing personal information with people. A few of them are very unprofessional.

If I could give zero stars, I would. These teachers only care about themselves, not the students. They find every excuse not to work. First, they couldn't go back because they weren't vaccinated. Now that they're vaccinated, they can't go back because someone might take their mask off. Seriously???

I am a first year teacher with the district. I called the PFT to get clarity on my benefits, and everyone was rude and nasty. Gary did not listen to my needs, interrupted when I was speaking, then abruptly transferred me to Shirley. Shirley was also nasty when speaking with me. She is a twin in her actions, very rude like Gary. She cut me off when I attempted to voice my concerns about my benefits. These two individuals are a horrible representation of the PFT staff. I'm happy I was able to get the information I needed, but Gary and Shirley need intense training in customer service. I will not call there again. However, I plan to have a meeting with supervisors. I hope no one receives this kind of service.
