We express our condolences to his family.
Read a newspaper obituary here.
Below is Mike Shulman's eulogy for Paul from New Action's website.
Paul Feingold, teacher, leader, activist, 1945 – 2017
Dear Friends,
We lost a true trade union giant. Our dear friend and colleague, Paul Feingold, passed away this past weekend. Paul was a great rank and file chapter leader at John Jay HS, a long-time New Action supporter, and a fighter for social and economic justice. In 1986, when I was Academic High School Vice President of the UFT, Paul was finally recognized with a Trachtenberg award. Along with Jack Sexton, Paul was given a token of union appreciation for their years of dedication to the UFT membership. I could go on but those who knew Paul know what a great human being and visionary he was.
The struggle continues and Paul will be there with us.
In solidarity,
Michael Shulman
