I am so beyond proud to acknowledge two of our CTE UFT award honorees, Mr. Joseph Caputo and Mr. Gerard D’Ambrosio. You both represented for @TottenvillehsI and brought recognition to STATEN ISLAND CTE! Today was beyond special, the both of you deserve this!
UFT President Michael Mulgrew on @NYGovCuomo statement on school reopening: As Governor Cuomo noted, parents and teachers must be confident that schools are safe before they can reopen. In New York City that is still an open question.
So. Let's set the stage...
President Trump has chosen as the venue for his first rally in months, Tulsa, Oklahoma, site of a horrific massacre of African Americans. And he has set the date for June 19th, Juneteenth, a celebration of the end of slavery in the United States.
Please watch our video as we discuss the disaster relief work @nyspeffire are doing in Puerto Rico. @WayneSpence99, @ElbaAponteSant1 and I would like to say thank you for all they are doing in @PuertoRicoPUR
Until our schools get more funding for construction and maintenance, until our school district starts consistently working with school communities, our $4.5 billion deferred maintenance backlog will keep growing with no end in sight. #phled https://t.co/fQ5048UGgH
Sixty years ago today, the Greensboro Four stood up to injustice by sitting down at a lunch counter. Our journey is full of such stories; of acts of patriotic protest that challenge this country we love to live up to our highest ideals, however long it takes. #BlackHistoryMonth
UFT President Michael Mulgrew spoke to teachers at MS 181 in the Bronx today as part of the @nysut “Fund Our Future” statewide bus tour to raise awareness about the need for a $2.1 billion increase in state education aid.
We have a packed house at the #AFTCSI 2020 conference. @rweingarten and I openned the conference welcoming 26 labor management community teams from across the nation, working together for a common goal. @AFTunion@UFTTchrCENTER
Trump’s China deal:
-China agrees to buy $50B of ag products this year.
-That's a gain of $29B from before Trump tariffs.
-Trump tariffs have cost U.S. farmers $11B.
-U.S. taxpayers have spent $28B on emergency payouts to farmers.
-So loss to U.S. is $39B.
You do the math.
