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
