UFT District 3

Today, Mayor Adams announced he won’t be cutting funding to Summer Rising and the city's community schools program. Suddenly, the budget projections aren’t so bad, just as we’ve been saying from the start. Now, he needs to keep going and cancel the rest of his school budget cuts.

Have a meaningful Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Parents & Educators: There will be another mayoral control hearing this Thursday in Manhattan. Speaking slots are full, but you can still submit written testimony HERE. #testimony" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nysed.gov/new-york-city-…

Management at @NYULangoneBK are repeatedly short-staffing nurses & putting patients at risk. The @UFT is fighting them on this important issue - NYers should not have to worry about getting proper care in the hospital. @GovKathyHochul @NYSAssembly @NYSenate @nyulangone

The Federation of Nurses/UFT is in a pitched battle with NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn over short staffing that the union contends is putting patients at risk. uft.org/news/news-stor…

This is hopefully a wake-up call for @NYCMayor Adams & @NYCMayorsOffice --- Your refusal to follow the class size law, even though the Governor & State Legislature fully funded it --- Is not going over well in Albany. @DOEChancellor @NYSenate @NYSAssembly @KathyHochul @NYSUT @UFT
