Tom Murphy, Mulgrew’s man at the head of the UFT Retired Teachers Chapter, is running in the upcoming chapter election on a platform of rejecting incivility. Murphy thinks that the trouble with UFT retirees is that they are angry with him. He thinks that retirees who express their frustrations over his healthcare sellout - to a Medicare Advantage plan - are uncivil. But there is nothing more uncivil than pulling healthcare benefits from underneath senior citizens. Dignity comes before decorum.
