I have no doubt that as the retired members of the SFPOA read this article, they will each reminisce on the legacy of one of the greatest labor leaders that this Association and this city has ever seen. Lieutenant Gerald “Jerry” Crowley passed away October 5, 2014 at the age of 81. Jerry served as POA President from 1972 until 1979 during one of the most turbulent and tumultuous times in the history of the POA. This was also an equally chaotic time in the city with the Moscone/Milk assassina- tions, the Zebra Killings, the Zodiac murders, the Jonestown mass suicides, Lieutenant Gerald “Jerry” Crowley and general political upheaval in the city.

  • Trade Union Rich List June 2011
    www.taxpayersalliance.com Research Note 90 Trade Union Rich List Public sector unions are preparing for major strikes in opposition to cuts in public spending, a public sector pay freeze and changes in pension conditions. This new research note shows that many trade union leaders are receiving six-figure remuneration packages: . 37 trade union general secretaries and chief executives received remuneration of more than £100,000 in 2009-10. This includes many of the big public sector unions that are launching strikes or have threatened to do so recently: Name Union Total Remuneration, 09-10 Derek Simpson Unite £186,626 Dave Prentis Unison £130,109 Matt Wrack Fire Brigades Union £117,230 Bob Crow RMT £113,011 Mark Serwotka PCSU £112,634 . The total pay of the general secretaries and chief executives earning over £100,000 was over £4.6 million in 2009-10, that was up 5.4 per cent from under £4.4 million in 2008-09 for the leaders of the same unions.

    No Job for a Woman? The Impact of Gender in School Leadership Report prepared by: Professor Olwen McNamara Professor John Howson Professor Helen Gunter Andrew Fryers NASUWT The Teachers’ Union First published in the UK in 2010 by NASUWT Hillscourt Education Centre Rose Hill Rednal Birmingham B45 8RS www.nasuwt.org.uk © NASUWT Copyright 2008 All rights reserved. ISBN 978-1-906611-12-5 Printed in the UK by Clarkeprint Ltd 45-47 Stour Street Birmingham B18 7AJ Preface: Structure of the Report An executive summary precedes the main report together with recommendations for action and suggestions for further research. The main report is divided into four parts. Part One is a review of literature and presents evidence from over 200 research publications on current knowledge in relation to the aims of this study of gendered patterns in school senior leadership teams (SLTs). The literature about leadership falls into two main types: the first, functional with narratives around effectiveness, efficiency and delivery; and the second, socially critical with narratives around equity, opportunities and recognition. The literature builds on the desk study of Women Teachers’ Careers (McNamara et al., 2008). A synthesis of the desk study was used to shape the aims and inform the instruments and methodology of the current study. Part Two of the report outlines the research aims and the project methodology. It explains the instrument development and structure, the sampling strategy adopted and the characteristics of the returned sample, including its representativeness in respect of the teacher workforce. The section concludes with further information regarding the research processes, including analytical methods and details of the limitation of the study.
