In a personnel investigation or action, we will protect the rights of the employee first. My responsibility is that the city follows employment-related laws. We will do that very carefully and balance the public's need for information.

We will disclose an 'appropriate action has been taken' statement.

We will not disclose any of our actions to the public. We are treating this like any other personnel investigation.

We've seen action taken, and more needs to be done. We will insist upon it.

Since the court will not take swift action to order union officials to inform union members of their rights, this informational campaign will help pick up the slack. Union officials have been fighting tooth and nail to keep teachers in the dark. They naturally fear a revolt from teachers opposing the union hierarchy's extraordinary $60 million campaign this fall.

I will work to orient our action to these two directions [human rights and development] which does not mean I will neglect anything else. I think these two topics are the two major driving forces in all human development all over the world and the United Nations has been established for bringing forward these two elements.
