Educators @OCSNY Opportunity Charter School demand a #FairContractNow and OCS bargain in “good faith.” Unaffordable healthcare, stagnant salaries, & lack of empathy has led to staff attrition. @AFTunion @UFT @nysut @LeonardGoldberg (CEO of OCS)

Public schools are safe, warm, and welcoming because of the work our paraprofessionals do each day building relationships with students and families. Make sure to #ThankAPara today during #ParaprofessionalAppreciationDay

Her complicity, cowardice, and complete incompetence will be her legacy. We will not miss @BetsyDeVosED "Good riddance" - @rweingarten said in what is likely the shortest press release ever released by @AFTunion
No @realDonaldTrump - you are not a "Cheerleader" for America- You are suppose to be the COACH- you don't stand on the sideline waiving pom poms as 190,000 Americans die- you are suppose to come up with the plays to save them. youtube.com/watch?v=ZTqC-8Ts… #TrumpDepression

Imagine if this administration, instead of lavishing a $2T tax cut on corporations and the wealthiest Americans, fulfilled its responsibility to provide all kids with a great education in public schools that are healthy, safe and welcoming. - @rweingarten aftvoices.org/learning-shoul…
