🚨 FIX TIER 6 NEWS ‼️ As different aspects of the proposed state budget are being reported in the press, the latest reports say that the budget includes significant progress on Tier 6 reform — and we know that’s because of us. 💪 We’re hearing: 58/30 instead of 63/30 for UFT TRS Tier 6 members! This means retiring five years earlier with an unreduced pension. While the fight for 55 will continue, this would be a big step forward. Check your email for more details as we wait for the final budget!!

@_slh2 We won't stop. It took 28 years and over 90 fixes to make Tier 4 what it is today. We have the momentum and collective strength we need to keep pushing for 55/30 for all Tier 6 members, and we won’t stop until we win!

.@UFT President Michael Mulgrew (a critic of mayoral control who thinks it should be abolished) says the two year extension is better than a four year. @NYCMayor also backed undoing it on the campaign trail, before supporting it as mayor

New: Speaker Carl Heastie says @NYCMayor will get 2 years of mayoral control until 2028, not the four year extension asked for and favored by the governor

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are sharing the story of the UFT’s own Marian Thom (July 28, 1936 - Sept. 4, 2024). Marian was born and raised in Manhattan’s Chinatown. She became a paraprofessional in 1970, a job she held for 36 years. Soon after she joined the union, she helped to organize the UFT Paraprofessionals Chapter. In later years she founded the UFT Asian American Heritage Committee, and as Chair she built up the annual Lunar New Year banquet (coming up this week at a new time to celebrate AANHPI Heritage Month!). Marian is remembered as a passionate advocate for her own community and others, always encouraging people to “stand up and be counted”. She was extremely active in union work in retirement as well. We remember and honor her dedication and legacy!

UNION SOLIDARITY WINS! Late last night the coalition of five labor unions, including BLET, today ended their 3-day strike at Long Island Rail Road after coming to terms on a tentative contract. (1/2)

Alongside our members who live on Long Island, the UFT is closely monitoring the LIRR strike. Most UFT members should fill out a OP201 form — OT/PTs and nurses should fill out a PD19 form — if you are late for work due to extrodinary transit delays. We will continue to update you with any changes. We hope a fair contract is reached soon.

Today marks the 72nd anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional. We commemorate this decision as a crucial turning point in our nation’s history and a powerful step toward educational equity.
