The New York City teachers' union is stepping up pressure on Mayor Eric Adams for a new contract by staging a weeklong series of demonstrations in front of public schools as negotiations intensify.
Both received generous multi-year deals, worth $4 billion and $5.5 billion respectively. The city also agreed to pilot programs for remote work for some city workers and longer shifts that would allow police officers to work fewer days.
The expectation is that salary increases for teachers would fall in line with the roughly 3% annual raises received by the members of District Council 37.Budget watchdogs, however, criticized the city for not extracting more concessions in its labor negotiations. The mayor has ordered across-the-board budget cuts for city agencies, citing concerns about an economic slowdown and the billions of dollars in costs from caring for the influx of migrants from the southern border.
Adams and the teachers’ union are not considered especially aligned. Adams is a supporter of charter schools, a position anathema to the UFT. The union did not endorse him during the 2022 primary. And Mulgrew’s successful lobbying effort in Albany last year to pass a law to make class sizes smaller drew objections from the mayor who said the policy would be too costly for the city to implement.
