Movements don’t start with press releases.

They start with members refusing to accept poverty wages.

The fight for para pay wasn’t born in union headquarters—it grew from rank-and-file organizing that made ignoring paraprofessionals politically impossible.

That’s the story behind today’s RESPECT Check.

@Fabien_Levy Tell us how you really feel about @LVladeck … Fabien.

Renee was a Fulehein and Linn puppet.

[Educators of NYC @educatorsofnyc]

Interesting pick. Strong labor history past. Her relationship with @NYCSchools poses a challenging dynamic with @UFT.

@LVladeck apparently is the great-granddaughter of Baruch Chaney Vladek - Belarusian-born Jewish American labor leader, journalist, socialist politician, and civic reform.

Yup and when Weisberg ran the SCA board it riddled with corruption & was accountable to no one except him and Eric
Adams. Good try. https://t.co/2G5uQzaUY3

The Mulgrew corruption, cronyism and nepotism runs deep at @uft also

[Susan Edelman @SusanBEdelman]

Meghan Mulgrew, daughter of teachers union prez Mike Mulgrew, used personal texts to discuss issues as senior adviser at @NYCDCAS because she "wished to keep the communications private," a co-worker said.
“Hey didn’t want this in teams,” Mulgrew began a message, referring to Microsoft Teams, which archives all content as official records.
Such messages by Mulgrew and other DCAS managers appear to violate rules meant to ensure that discussions of city business are preserved as official records subject to public disclosure, @THECITYNY reports.

[Marianne Pizzitola @FDNYchic]

Since @nycretirees are being ignored, can @JoannAriola32 @Lynn4NYC @SpeakerMenin find out why in the new NYCEPPO plan calling 911 & getting an FDNY ambulance is out of network?

Or was this another secret the MLC leadership kept from you? Att: Health & Civil Service committees.
@ShirleyAldebol @tiffany_caban @JimGennaro @TyHankerson @CMCrystalHudson @CMMercedesCD46 @frankmorano @ChrisMarteNYC @HarveyforNY @CarlMichaelW @CnDelarosa @SimchaFelderNY

This puts the employee & retiree holding the expense of the ambulance bill. Why is FDNY out of network?

Ps: if anyone in OLR listens, ask them why they aren’t letting Medicare Retirees know the premiums, drug formulary and drug costs of the part D plan BEFORE open enrollment- and why they won’t let us buy a cheaper plan on the marketplace and keep younger dependents on the city plan.

Asking for 250,000 members who served.

Today, Gov. Hochul announced that New York State will opt into the Trump administration's voucher program. Giving up local control of public education to the federal government through this scheme is a failure of leadership. Gov. Hochul will bear the responsibility, but our students, educators, and families will bear the price. The UFT is disappointed in this decision and we will continue to stand with parents, educators and public school supporters to do what we can to roll back this policy and protect our classrooms.

@educatorsofnyc @FollowCSA @UFT Neither of these bonuses makes any sense. it’s the law and @ZohranKMamdani is the @nycmayor and has mayoral control. Just develop a real plan and get it done.

[Susan Edelman @SusanBEdelman]

Many NYC principals make more than $200K a year. Now they get a bonus up to $10K for complying with a state law.
"if the city asks school leaders to take on the difficult work of reorganizing programs, staffing, and scheduling to meet the class size mandate, that work and responsibility must be acknowledged” --and compensated, their union says.

[leonie haimson @leoniehaimson]

Bizarre –1st bonuses for teachers assigned to classes that don’t comply w/class size law &now bonuses for principals if they do? What if they don’t have the space – which DOE has done nothing to provide. None of this makes sense. NYSED should step in.
