It has now been nearly four years since the contract has expired, and New York city public school teachers are still without a new, fair and decent contract.
They are still working under the old one. Why isn’t the United Federation of Teachers president, Michael Mulgrew, pushing for a new contract for his members?
The UFT and the city Department of Education need to work on getting this serious issue resolved. All the bickering in the media between Mulgrew and the DOE needs to stop and the focus must be on working hard to secure a new contract for all the hardworking and dedicated pedagogues in our city schools as soon as possible.
