@BerniedBro @_ericblanc In this case the leadership tried to force nurses to take a deal that their rank and file bargaining committee had already rejected.

@chap42chap @_ericblanc Columbia was not willing to give nurses the same safe staffing language that the other hospitals got

@SusanBEdelman The Chancellor's Reg is very clear: only use for political campaigns for office is prohibited. @SusanBEdelman is using some selective quotation here. This is a solidarity school for training of members of 501c3 / c5 unions and community orgs and is a welcome use of public space.

@AnnieTangent So sorry about this, Annie. That’s so awful. There are no words.

There is an alternative to @GovKathyHochul’s cuts to the funding formula!

We did a thing.

On Thursday afternoon, we dropped 6 banners in 6 regions across New York State to send a clear message to our legislators - TAX THE RICH. NOW. 📢 ⬇️

Whoever it is will quickly be replaced by Bennett Fischer!

But don’t keep us in suspense - tell is who it will be @TeacherArthurG …

We're hearing that @UFT RTC boss Tom Murphy will be replaced with another Mulgrew lackey, who will continue the fight to decimate our health care. Her working motto is, "I'm not Tom Murphy." Appealing though that may be, protect your rights and vote for @RetireeAdvocUFT.

BREAKING: Chicago’s Board of Education voted unanimously on Thursday to remove School Resource Officers from city schools.

The vote was 7-0. https://t.co/y4IxtA3ZpN

@HankeyLeone @elliotrlewis Budgets are political documents. If DSA members can’t have an open and public discussion about what our budgetary priorities are for the organization - even in a time of financial difficulties - then what is the point of building a Democratic working class organization?

NYC Educators inspired by our siblings in @UAW: a victory in auto will be a victory for every worker in the country!

@UFT wasn’t strike-ready for our recent contract, but the positive example from #HotLaborSummer is convincing rank and filers we need to be for the next one…

[What'sLeftinSchools @LeftInSchools]

@poetpedagogue @TeacherArthurG @UFT The UFT leadership refuses to allow the AAA to answer that question

[MORE-UFT @MOREcaucusUFT]

Currently, @UFT is refusing to respond to our request until after the vote count - so the only way to get this information is to put some pressure on officials to do the right thing!

Voting NO on this #UFT contract b/c it is implicitly based on the billions of health care concessions being negotiated in the giveaway of our insurance plan by the MLC.

Next year we will see higher costs & worse care.

These sub-inflation wage increases aren't worth it!

[What'sLeftinSchools @LeftInSchools]

@educatorsofnyc I don’t think this is _substantially_ better than the city pattern… but it is better than the DC37 deal, no?

DC37 got 3%, 3%, 3.25% for ‘23-25 & a $3K bonus. Hard to know exactly the value of the leave improvements & other wins compared to the equity/childcare funds won by DC37

So proud to be protesting @NYCMayor on May Day with my @MOREcaucusUFT family!

Now we need to take these kind of pickets and actions to every school in the city!

What do we do when shop stewards get fired? Act up, fight back!

The company is trying to decapitate workplace leadership in the middle of a contract campaign, but it won’t work…

@MThunder15 @MOREcaucusUFT That may be true in the current, demobilized state of the UFT. But if we can raise expectations through education and action, we shift what colleagues will accept & force leadership to fight 4 more. Here's a next step (which we need to be followup with by pickets & sickouts)
