New Action statement on AFT tenure proposals

On Tuesday AFT President Randi Weingarten spoke to the National Press Club on teacher evaluation and tenure. That evening in reaction UFT President Michael Mulgrew sent an e-mail to UFT Chapter Leaders.

New Action’s statement reads, in part:

New Action/UFT supports Michael Mulgrew’s statement.  “Her proposals would require a climate of collaboration and trust that simply does not exist here.”

Weingarten has shown an unhealthy flexibility over the years to proposals for corporate-style “reform.”

New Action will continue to work with President Mulgrew to continue to protect our rights and our contract.  Now is the time to end corporate-style, anti-teacher, anti-community “reform.”
