Text of the page (random words):
o bad aggressively negative but we are not done we have to get to 55 have to get the contributions those are all very important things have to move forward we wanted to fix the foundation aid formula people got on bus to albany and lobbied we were able to get homelessness and other things included in budget to help fund nyc schools community schools got a lot of money state has moved forward over 20 million to community schools teacher centers also got funded supposedly all the grades are getting a new math curriculum next year except 9th grade we know it won t be helpful teacher centers are very important city class size we have a class size working group that meets on a weekly basis with the chancellor s office and csa schools submitting plans are highly successful budget in place so that everyone hired for class size is a separate line item that s a big deal because of school budgets teachers hired for class size must be a separate line item we got to 60 law is 4 years old but requires work from the doe two major things that they didn t do over the last 4 years the capital space plan what construction we need to do it s a lot less than we thought but we have no plan no construction started if you re going to build more classrooms for more classes you need more staff doe doesn t recruit themselves didn t design a plan when they said we need an extension we told them we need a complete commitment on a capital construction plan and a recruitment strategy for nyc after the budget was done we came to a place with the doe and chancellor and they had an analysis for every district and every school three categories 1 they needed a small construction project simpler 2 large construction extension annex new building etc 3 program correctly said they can fix a few hundred schools just by helping programming just starting the construction projects now ny post says we shook them down for 20 million going in our members pockets didn t shake them down held them accountable they said the only way to get this done is to give a bunch of exemptions we said no we want it done correctly reorganization will be part of our school system for decades there are schools this year that if they did their capital plans would ve had their space done by now and they would ve gotten to 80 schools being used for space exemptions may be eligible for the differential as well as schools with funded positions who were unable to hire teachers due to recruitment problems if you re a teacher in a classroom with a hard to staff differential you may be eligible for the differential won t know until november 15 an exemption class helps move them toward 80 even though it s not in compliance those are classes eligible for differential differential for this year larger differential for next year i believe there s a meeting tomorrow with chancellor and principals once that meeting is over we expect everyone to get their budgets i d appreciate it if they say it s unacceptable there were years where budgets were not done until july and august but schools received preliminary budgets not done this year no budget no line how can we hire anyone they put us in a bad position not the way you want to start budgets out with less than two weeks left of school lots of emails about the chancellor we believe in due process we know that the procurement process at the doe is beyond broken it s a disgrace does not serve the school system the chancellor has been very supportive of us but due process is due process in this political environment who knows what s really going on i have to think about the working relationship he has with our union right now i d say he has a very good working relationship with us but we don t need any more distractions one big thing on agenda that has not been accomplished yet respect next two weeks are about budgets sbos coming in by the hundreds thanks cls the sbo process is off the chart next year s calendar is insane because of all of the holidays need to continue pressure on the respect check had a hearing today at city hall shout out to priscilla castro paraprofessional cl gave testimony in favor of respect check there is movement costing process almost finished but pressure has to remain we re all happy about the knicks the world cup they re building little bleachers everywhere huge ship armada coming in pushed back fleet week all happening inside of nyc need to keep pressure on for the respect check trs and para executive committee elections are done thanks tom brown and para execs get to work early voting starts saturday lots of contested elections all will be settled in next few weeks everything turns to midterm elections thankfully we get a little bit of a break retirees are very interested in politics one of the biggest strengths of our union certain things we need to get done in june in case of endorsements we bring executive board in no nefarious stuff going on midterms in november are clearly very important for us much at stake for public education also need to begin the process of negotiating a contract we will have the largest negotiation committee in our history hands down more than what s in this room by far almost 700 people will be on the negotiating committee notice will go out next week june 24 virtual welcome lay out the process all about educating ourselves educating new people on negotiation committee it s not a joke we will be sitting across the table from the city our strategy is that we want our members doing the work talking to them shame them because they have no idea what you do that s how we have in last two rounds of bargaining every contract has had changes in them not a single giveback no givebacks only positive changes you have to come up with your plan have to represent when we get paras done city can t use that against us in negotiations enough with having workers paying for other workers raises it becomes about educating everyone each one will come up with their own list of demands come to consensus that ll be fun with 700 people even in committees these are very important things educating and training people massive time commitment had a couple of instances in the past guide for committee comes from membership nobody can hijack the committee with an agenda we know what the number one issue is before surveys are sent out money first and foremost we d like to figure out a way for more vacation days city hates it might be a way it opens up maybe they look for something and we negotiate there are certain titles in this union that have a basic sound argument as to why they might need more each title in this union will come up with what their demands are vote on it then start the process with doe we probably will not set the pattern many unions are still waiting for contracts from the last round we got in did the smart thing got our raises someone will set the pattern before us don t like it but it is what it is school opening late in september people are upset about ending on a monday if i m cl first thing i m asking principal is if we re really having pd on june 28 staff director s report missed some of this 5k on saturday rtc gen membership tuesday student debt webinar game on june 18 hispanic affairs committee on 6 26 11 days left of school nysut for get out the vote rally in peekskill celebrates people retiring this year pride month parade on june 28 uft is one of largest groups in that parade caribbean american month puerto rican day parade this sunday question period 1 fair student funding can we make effort to getting it funded per class instead of per student do it per class in suburbs mm anything designed by klein or bloomberg is bad for schools designed after retail stores we don t have right to negotiate funding not covered by collective bargaining got around this with class size law over a billion dollars in outside contracts we pay for all this adams and de blasio didn t work lots of people hired and we don t know who they are 2 all day pd during virtual days had people asked to come in to work to sit in front of computer all day being interrupted by everything happening in school just to sit in front of the computer and go home can we push doe to allow for these teachers to engage in virtual pd remotely mm yes 3 policy for dual certified teachers can the principal make you teach under a different license every year giving you a split schedule mm you may be dual certified but you re licensed under one you may be split schedule but you must have four classes under that license tell them you have to teacher under license 4 i received 3020a charges and have been removed from my classrooms i ve been retaliated against because of my chapter leader activism my attorney said i m not alone has 5 cases in last few weeks from teachers and cls trumped up charges nothing egregious this is my 27th year i ve chosen to stay when i had opportunities to leave my membership is living in fear i m begging union for support begging to keep my job if you hold a principal accountable in the doe you ll be retaliated against i ve had three reassignments in the past week reassigned to my home what is the union going to do it s not for lack of advocacy how will you help me mr mulgrew mm i was happy to see you and call on you won t go into specifics about your situation but there have been many discussions already we fully expect to protect you first and foremost as an educator and chapter leader we have a lot of information from inside your building because we ve visited want people in the union to understand the situation we ve had principals removed i never want to sugarcoat that the union has a magic wand there s no two chapter leaders that are the same if you choose to be a cl you re putting your butt on the line there s an obligation on our behalf to say you ve gone above and beyond i m sorry for what you re going through but you re not going to go through this alone motions directed to the agenda 1 motion to add a resolution to this month s agenda resolution to fight against private school vouchers vote yes 748 no 123 online yes 250 no 19 in person 88 placed on this month s agenda 2 motion to add a resolution to next month s agenda copays copays are a hidden premium and a tax for being sick uft has pledged for premium free healthcare but you can t call it free when you have to pay every time you go to the doctor retirees have gone from 0 to thousands per year with copays wants negotiators through the mlc to recognize copays as hidden premiums must make rolling back copays a priority at bargaining table question why is resolution not moving this towards our healthcare committee rather than doing this here mm told retirees that if this comes to floor i have to call it out of order ruled out of order because it needs to go through healthcare committee which was overwhelmingly supported by everyone all financial and technical matters need to go through healthcare committee everyone here is against copays if healthcare committee can actually come up with something they recommend it to the delegate assembly if we tell city we re not paying copays anymore they ll say fine and take it out of our raises we re not going to do something that hurts us later on if we can lessen copays we want to do it but that would have to go through the healthcare committee they directed us throughout the nyce ppo as the resolution you all passed told them to do we can say yes to this the city s position will simply be that if we don t want to pay for these we have to pay now arbitrator will rule for them healthcare costs are a constant problem this union has dealt with many complicated issues don t want to divide don t want in service using part of their raises due to copays we re uniquely different than other unions our retirees get more than other retirees in nyc we don t want things that will divide us we won t let healthcare divide us it is clearly out of order we will vote on if chair is correct question thought we can bring this to the da mm anything on healthcare has to go to the healthcare committee healthcare committee comes back with recommendation then da votes upon it if this reso said we want this issue to be sent to the healthcare committee and come back with a recommendation this would not be out of order question check roberts rules this is debatable mm it s my first time running a meeting question was healthcare committee elected or chosen by leadership mm resolution itself brought by retiree group said what makeup had to be all representative caucuses within the union vote do you support the ruling of the chair that this reso is out of order because it tries to supercede what da has voted on this year about anything substantive regarding healthcare has to go through the healthcare committee first yes 606 no 229 online yes 189 no 79 in person 72 this resolution is out of order resolutions agenda item 1 resolution to extend the hybrid da rules resolved that the rules of order adopted in june 2021 be continued for the 2026 27 school year and that in june 2027 uft delegates will revisit the question of the nature of the delegate assemblies for the following year if not sooner and be it resolved that the uft will continue to look for the best methods to safeguard delegate assembly participation question can we have video of these meetings to see who s talking it s boring listening from home mm apologizes for boringness vote yes 888 no 28 online yes 218 no 35 in person 95 passes agenda item 2 endorsement of candidates for city offices contingency resolution resolved the united federation of teachers delegate assembly authorizes the executive board to consider make or modify endorsements during the summer in order to have a timely impact on any such campaigns objection exec board may endorse people without da support who do not help the uft and our students mm this provision is only for unforeseen circumstances like someone being arrested if we have to call a special da for september before endorsing we can do that vote yes
