NYPD officers who work for five years will now make approximately $50k more a year than teachers with the same amount of time (and a Masters) We just handed $5.5 billion to the most expensive police department in the United States, while we cut schools. cbsnews.com/newyork/news/n…

@UFT Good! and 3% is NOT acceptable and HANDS OFF HEALTHCARE! Our raise MUST match current INFLATION rate!

Wow AOC doesn’t hold back here

@FDNYchic Thank you for leading this fight and all the hard work you and the retirees do. Inservice will stand in solidarity until the healthcare crisis is resolved to preserve choice of free premium medical plans. Thank you 🙏🏼

Over the last year, I have heard from thousands of City retirees asking me to protect their hard-earned healthcare. Today, I voiced my firm opposition to any changes to admin code 12-126 and the privatization of the healthcare for our City's retirees. My full remarks 👇

Braving the cold and COVID, city retirees protest @UFT HQ and are about to march towards @DC37nyc and Emblem building against Medicare DISADVANTAGE.

You heard it here last week. Scheinman's document is a recommendation. It is not a decision. This is not "the nuclear option" It's a massive bluff.

@educatorsofnyc Definition of insanity.. doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. TWO courts affirmed the same decision. @UFT Mulgrew insists retirees must be "saved" and the code changed. WE ARE LABOR! WE SAVED OURSELVES because you sold us off!

As soon as I wake every morning, I remind myself that all human beings are the same as me—we all want to be happy. I resolve to use my life to ensure that other beings are happy. It’s compassion that brings about peace of mind, not anger and hatred.

UFT union needs to support City Council-member Kristin Jordan! Our teacher’s union supports changing Administrative Code 12-126 which opens the door to putting municipal retirees into privatized Medicare Disadvantage (Mulgrewcare). thread🧵….continue below in this post

Keep sending calls & emails to your @NYCCouncil reps Do Not Amend Admin Code 12-126

@leoniehaimson Rest up and get well soon.

So that’s that.

DC 37 leads and UFT follows why isn’t this info exposed to ALL UFT members by our union?The 2 most important things impact uft members are in the hands DC 37. My copays are too high for decent health plan&my salary is too low for NYC prices..no wonder there’s a teacher sortage

@NormScott1 @PSulliv Don't forget me.

@PSulliv You too. Klein May have hated you more.

I CAN say with a straight face that #MayoralControl isn’t working when schools not funded properly, federal monitor is needed so students with disabilities can receive services, & 2/3 of Black boys STILL can’t read at grade level according to @NYCMayor. nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-edi…

@nycdoenuts @pfh1964 @NormScott1 @ufcuft Privatization of medicare=Terrible policy. Privatization of schools=Terrible policy.

@pfh1964 @NormScott1 @ufcuft List three items of coverage retirees don’t get with the plan Unity tried to sneak in under our noses. Say it in specifics. Use your big words. So far, though, nothing but a headline “mulgrewcare”… and you wanna write a best seller of the history of oppo? Dude.

… but I said an honest history of oppo, @NormScott1 . Maybe it can be different volumes? 🤔 ednotesonline.blogspot.com/2022/05/uft-el…
