DC37 Progressive Caucus

Independent caucus of rank and file DC 37 members building a fighting union. We fight for NYC!

[DC37 Progressive Caucus @DC37progressive]

The DC 37 contract is out for voting and there's still a lot of confusion and frustration in the rank and file. We've been working to compile information from the union, our locals, and news sources to understand what's in this contract and where the process falls short.

I wrote about these workers leading the charge for national reform in the UAW. Historically a bastion of labor-management partnership, the UAW could now play an important role in reviving class politics – and class struggle – in the US.

From earlier this week: Marianne Pizzitola of @NycRetirees walks through what's happening with Medicare Advantage and what could be on the line for us as active workers! Check it out:

Lots of news on the UAW front >

With challenger Shawn Fain set to become UAW president, a transition document for Fain's team calls for "identifying who needs to be purged" & "complete rebranding of the union..informed by a more militant/fighting vision"

"Current city workers should follow the lead of the retirees & remain vigilant against the city’s efforts to change the basic healthcare plan...to a cheaper option by the end of the year." Thx @tempest_mag for exposing what we don't hear from leadership

As you decide how you'll vote on this contract, consider the info shared here and talk to your coworkers! The negotiation process is opaque and offers little opportunity for the rank and file to weigh in. Getting involved and connecting with your coworkers makes us stronger!

Teacher burnout isn’t inevitable, it’s calculated by people who want a privatized system staffed with low paid, inexperienced, non union, compliant bodies in a room.

Hundreds of kids walked out of Brooklyn Tech today to protest the continuation of in person school during the Omicron wave and to call for a remote option

[Jillian Jorgensen @Jill_Jorgensen]

Here’s an email kids at Brooklyn Tech got today, informing them of 114 cases in their school. On Friday they got a similar note reporting 85 cases.
