OTPT For A FAIR Contract

#ICYMI: Mayor Adams was heckled for his xenophobic policies & rhetoric on his anti-immigrant publicity stunt trip to Colombia. For more than a year, Eric Adams has been blaming immigrants for HIS budget cuts & HIS rollbacks on housing rights. #CareNotCuts #HousingIsAHumanRight

It's a wonder they didn't strike sooner! @NYCSchools what did u learn from the 2013 strike? MetroCards ain't gonna cut it.@AFCNewYork @INCLUDEnyc @paolahadto @pistnyc @safeschoolsny @EducationCounc1 @d75council @DOEChancellor

Inbox: Workers at the in @AlamoDrafthouse in Brooklyn filed a petition to unionize today with @UAW Local 2179. The 190-member bargaining unit includes FT and PT box office workers, cooks, custodians, wait staff, line cooks and bartenders.

More than 30 years after the passage of the Americans With Disabilities Act, just one-third of the city’s public schools are accessible to people with physical disabilities: ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

Y’ALL… It’s official!! Today our union won recognition at @_OnPointNYC via card check! ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼 We’re beyond excited to work with OnPoint’s leadership to bargain a strong and fair contract (and to crack open a cold one with our fellow workers 🍻)

Yesterday night @ his townhall, several NYers impacted by budget cuts to stood up against @NYCMayor's cuts to public education, CUNY, housing, & social services. He had us thrown out. Eric Adams has been unwilling to restore the majority of #CareNotCuts that will harm millions.

West Side HS is the oldest transfer HS in @NYCSchools. It has been successful in supporting children because of its location and connection to community, onsite childcare, onsite health clinic and championship athletic teams. #SaveEARWestSide PULL THE RESITE PROPOSAL!

Watch as @NYCMayor ignores & walks away from parents & NYers concerned about the estimated $1.7B in cuts to schools, CUNY, libraries, & essential services in his latest FY24 budget released yesterday. The Mayor has cut an ~$2.5B in essential services in FY23 + FY24. #CareNotCuts

Listen to yesterday’s #TalkOutofSchool @WBAI broadcast abt the looming school budget cuts to @NYCSchools. We spoke to @leoniehaimson, my co-host, parents @tomcsheppard & @northgardner + @MOREUFT educators @meijer_martina @BxEU4J Ryan Bruckenthal Go to: talk-out-of-school.simplecast.com/episodes/a-con…

Fourteen MORE, OT/PTs For A Fair Contract @OTPTs4Respect, and members from the United for Change @ufcuft coalition, including some elected to the @UFT Executive Board, who were able to attend the Contract Negotiation meeting signed this letter, which was hand-delivered…

New: NYC DOE has quietly cut the per-pupil Fair Student Funding across-the-board for @nycschools. @NYCMayor's statement that “Not one child is going to lose money from the Fair Student Funding” is false. w/@cayla_bam nypost.com/2022/06/22/nyc… via @nypmetro

UPDATE: The PEP's online!! The Panel for Educational Policy replaced the Board of Ed in 2002; is part of the city governance to maintain public schools & is responsible for approving policies, standards & objectives that directly align w academic achievement. 🍎💡🍎💡🍎💡🍎💡🍎

OT/PTs collected 1,500 signatures from NYC DOE colleagues in solidarity with our demands for #ParityResourcesRespect. Today we hand delivered them to @NYCSchools @DOEChancellor. Our working conditions are students’ learning conditions!

NYC DOE occupational & physical therapists and parents will be at Tweed Courthouse today to demand #ParityResourcesRespect for this upcoming UFT contract because Our working conditions are Our students’ learning conditions!
