Gail Mendes of United Teachers of Richmond has used a
time-honored method of obtaining personal power: cooperating with
abusive administrators like Richard Werlin. Where is Gail's support
coming from? Perhaps from another CTA director who worked
closely with the abusive Mr. Werlin: Jim Groth and his loyal friend,
[former] chief CTA counsel Beverly Tucker.]

[Maura Larkins comment: normally this wouldn't be news, since CTA
officers tend to be automatically reelected. However, in 2009 there
was an unexpected deviation in the pattern of automatic promotion of
the top three executive officers to the "elected" position one step
above. Secretary treasurer Daniel Vaughn was ousted by Gail
Mendes in March 2009, and many members wanted to contest
Mendes' transition to vice-president in 2011 (blog post). Many were
sorry they voted for Mendes because they had intended their votes
as a token of protest, and never expected Daniel Vaughn to lose.
