🚨NEWS: THE RESPECT CHECK IS NOW LAW!!
Thanks to our advocacy and our champions in @NYCCouncil, especially @SpeakerMenin and @CnDelarosa, paras will now receive a critical financial boost.
Reminder from UFT Chief Negotiator Carl Cambria: FINISH your contract surveys! Incomplete surveys don't count, and we want to hear what you have to say. So make sure you finish filling out your responses and hit submit. This is how the 750-member Negotiating Committee will bring your voice to the table as we fight for a stronger contract.👏
.@SpeakerMenin never backs down when fighting for our paraprofessionals 💪
@NYCCouncil unanimously passed the RESPECT check because they know how invaluable paras are to our schools.
@UFT won’t stop until the RESPECT check is in your pocket.
#RESPECTforParaprofessionals
National School Psychologist Week 2026 is here! School communities across the country join together to celebrate the work and impact of our school psychologists. The role you play for our students is so important! Thank you for your dedication 🙌
If your contract survey is still in progress, it won’t count! Make sure you complete it so your responses will be included in the results. It’s so important that every UFT member makes their voice heard. Just click your unique link from your email to pick up where you left off. Don’t let your progress go to waste - finish and submit your contract survey before Tuesday's deadline.
.@SpeakerMenin joined us at our annual Teacher Union Day to stand with our paraprofessionals and honor the @UFT’s very own Anne Goldman for her decades of leadership as a fierce labor champion.
Thank you, Speaker Menin, for standing in solidarity with us✊
