"Mayor de Blasio: starting in September on the First day of school, UFT members will have up to 6 weeks of paid parental leave.
UFT goes on saying, "This is huge! Subject to DA approval: Special Delivery."
We now have to ask about the cost and who is paying for this. The devil as always is in the details.

New @NYCSchools teachers union contract looks like a strong possibility today with this @UFT @NYCMayor presser. No questions from the press permitted
Getting ready to bend over!
ReplyDeleteMight as well get it done now...So we know the deal, and not waiting 11 years for retro.
ReplyDeletemay be a parental leave deal
ReplyDeleteNah, just had 1 bargaining session, no contract that quick.
ReplyDeleteNo details....WE PAY
ReplyDeleteIt's six weeks paid parental leave. I'm awaiting the details on the cost.
ReplyDeleteChalkbeat is reporting 12-14 weeks of paid maternity leave. (CAR days must be used up first before paid leave kicks in) This will start in September. I have a question and a comment. My question is how exactly is this going to paid for? My comment is that I bet for sure will be seeing a massive amount of teachers getting pregnant this summer as teachers will want to start to take advantage of this "paid" leave right away.
ReplyDeleteJust wait, now every municipal union in NYC is going to be asking for "paid" leave. This is going to cost a fortune if the city is fronting the whole thing. Me says, that there will be huuuugggggeeeee givebacks for this in the next contract. The UFT thinks dumbly that the rank and file are going to love this. However, if there are givebacks, (which there will be) this is going to bite them in the behind in a big way. Think of the tons of teachers who are never planning on having kids or think of the teachers who already had kids. Those 2 types of teachers should not be fronting the bill to pay for teachers who chose to have kids. And yes, having kids is a choice. Nobody puts a gun to anybody's head and forces them to have a kid. Paid child leave is completely different from paid healthcare since we all get sick from time to time. Anyway, this developing story has a lot more to it than what we are reading right now. Mark my words on this!
ReplyDeleteI meant no details about funding, I imagine this is the precursor to a new contract and we will be sold on ... "We got you free paid parental leave, what did you expect?"
ReplyDeleteThey can hide it by saying its included in the next contract, never saying how much they took off...
ReplyDeleteThey added 2 and a half months to the current contract to pay for it. Motherfucker.
ReplyDeleteThere is no way the City is paying for this. We will be getting a new contract with severely low raises forever now that this "paid" leave is in place. This will be here for the forseable future and as such it will need to be funded during every new contact with the UFT. As mentioned above, we will never know how much of a bigger raise we could be getting now that we are going to be paying for this. In a nutshell, this sucks and we are all going be paying for this for the rest of our teaching careers. This is totally unfair to the childfree by choice teachers and for the teachers who are already done with having kids. Nice job pitting teacher against teacher UFT!
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck, contract doesnt end till 2/13/19 now.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fucking scam. How much is losing 2 and a half months of a raise worth? At least $500-$1K per teacher.
ReplyDeleteAnother uft screwjob. They added a month to the contract AND postponed a raise to pay retirees. Now we lose 10 weeks of the next raise to fund this crap that I dont even want.
ReplyDeleteHere comes Janus, Mike.
ReplyDeleteIm not happy, I got screwed, thats like another whole school year...
ReplyDeleteSo this is another 2 and a half months of 0...We really need 3% a year on the next deal now. Doubtful..
ReplyDeleteI know negotiations just stared, but they should have had this in conjunction wit a new deal, at least they could have said you get whatever on 2/13/19, and raises after that, $1000 lump sum, something.
ReplyDeleteWow, I was looking forward to the end of this awful deal, a near 10 year deal, virtually losing money after inflation, and they found a way to extend with no further raise.
