@UFT I did. #VoteNo

@BrianUFT @UFT This contract weakens the union and teachers, especially post Janus. A raise under inflation in the current political and economic climate does not serve teachers or students. Our dues should inspire greater union advocacy. #voteno

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT @nyc @MOREcaucusNYC we have to thank the teachers who voted no in 95 for the benefits we enjoy today. Think about the future. No give backs, and a raise that beats inflation is the absolute least we can do. We can do so much better. #voteno #UFTcontract #uft #nycdoe

[MORE-UFT @MOREcaucusUFT]

We will vote NO because we want NO givebacks.
Lower-tier healthcare for new teachers?
Psychological stress tests?
Remote learning?
A "raise" that is essentially a pay cut?

@UFT The cap is too high already and is a disservice to educators and children. This contract should have been the time to push for better conditions, not to attempt to enforce an already failed system. #voteno #uftcontract #uft #nycdoe #janus

@UFT_Elementary @UFT @UFTMS_Division @UFTParas #voteno Teachers deserve better. We can do better. The union should do better. The economy just gained 3.5% in the third quarter. Our raise doesn’t even match inflation, which makes it a pay cut. This contract weakens our union and teachers across the nation. #janus

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT Only two? I’d like a few more please! #janus #hello #uftcontract #showuswhatourduesarefor #yourepresentus #etc #voteno #happyfriday

[Terry @Terry79503870]

#UFTcontract. Happy Friday. Please vote no on this terrible contract. You deserve better. Teachers everywhere deserve better. And actually... we really do hold so much more power than you might realize. Voting no and banding together makes the union stronger. #uft #voteno

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice I hope teachers also stand together to demand a better deal.

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT A raise that doesn’t meet inflation (unbelievably...the email sent to members claims it does), special additional required courses for the +30, no guarantee for class size enforcement or reduction.The contract does not serve the union or its members. We can do better #voteno

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT bottom line, the UFT hasn’t been honest about the shortcomings of this contract and has been trying to move as quickly as possible, hoping people won’t actually look into everything.

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT “Accelerated relief”. It’s just not true. There isn’t even a guarantee that the current class size limits will be enforced. So disappointed with the double speak coming from the uft. Post-Janus is a time to build trust! This has been such a terrible roll out of the contract.

[Terry @Terry79503870]

No one will ever give you what you deserve unless you ask for it. The union is not fighting hard enough for us. It does NOT even meet inflation as claimed. Our contract impacts teachers across the nation. We can do so much better. #uft #voteno #uftcontract #dontbeapushover

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT “Any oversize class issue that can be resolved will be resolved sooner” put another way: in the new contract class size isn’t changing and there’s no guarantee that the already high “limit” will be enforced.

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@UFT Union dues are now optional post-Janus. Inflation is higher than our raise. The economy is doing great, especially in NYC and we have a progressive mayor. This is when you need to remind everyone what the union is for. The contract weakens the union and its members. #voteno

[Terry @Terry79503870]

@NYCComptroller @UFT I couldn’t agree more. However, I’m not sure where the fight is you’re referencing. Is simply attempting to meet inflation a “fight”? Not seeing it. Certainly not feeling fought for. #UFTContract #VoteNo

[Terry @Terry79503870]

Failing to understand why post Janus, with NYC economy doing well and a pro-public school progressive mayor the #UFTContract barely scrapes by with inflation. Now is when you need to remind members why they pay their (now optional) dues. Weakens the union and its members #voteNO
