The document below I was informed goes back to the final days of the Michael Bloomberg administration. Look closely and you will see the city has achieved some of their goals and I fully expect they will be looking for more cuts now.
The unions in the Municipal Labor Committee look like city partners, not adversaries, as the city and unions slowly erode our benefits even though the last decade has seen some of the best financial times in NYC history.
As this is a contract year, expect them to try to cut more.

THEORY: The city will not ask us for a longer day in exchange for a crappy raise. However, the city will ask us for health care concessions in exchange for a crappy raise. (Which will end up not being a raise at all since we will be paying more for health benefits)
hate to say it but all teachers deserve what is about to come to keep re-electing mulgrew and unity is insanity same way no one should have been surprised by gas prices inflation and our economy. Election results matter and have consequences.
Consumer prices up 8.6% in May, biggest jump since 1981
After 10 years of 1% and 2% raises while inflation is nearing 10%, so glad Randi spent last night rage tweeting about January 6. Union? Integrity? Oh, and grade fraud is still rampant.
This is worrying: Inflation rose 1% in May alone. There's just not much sign of a slowdown. If anything, inflation is picking up in a lot of categories (even beyond energy)
May: 1%
April: 0.3%
March: 1.2%
Feb: 0.8%
Jan: 0.6%
Good. We get 10% a year raise now.
Recession. Stock market plunge. Inflation at 9%.
UFT response-Medical givebacks and 1% raises.
Dues well spent.
Really good for lowly paid teachers. AT least Mulgrew is fighting for us.
JUNE 10 2020 vs JUNE 10 2022

+8.6% INFLATION
+30% UTILITY BILLS
+20% USED CARS
+14% GROCERIES

I’m sure Americans are comforted knowing their suffering prompted an all hands on deck meeting at the White House to figure out which catchy hashtag go with.
BIDEN: "Today's inflation report confirms what Americans already know — Putin's price hike is hitting America hard."
LOL 459 PM.
I was unaware that Putin enacted the “American Rescue Act,” crippled our supply chains with regs and mandates, or shut down American energy. In fact, ANWR alone (shuttered by Biden) could yield up to 7 times our daily oil imports from Russia.
Try to stay on topic: Healthcare cuts.
Last year's inflation was 5.9%. This year's inflation is at the rate of
8.6%. Do the math. We are behind by 14.5% . That means that we took a 14.5% pay cut in our purchasing power. Elections do have consequences. Re-electing Mulgrew was an extraordinarily foolish decision. The UFT teachers are predominantly fools and cowards.
You suck as teachers. The incredibly poor results in student achievement in NY city public schools is largely because you suck as teachers.
We have a pay cut due to historically high inflation and Democrat Operative Mulgrew will echo the Democrat Biden and tell us we're imagining it.The economy is really good. Then we'll be told don't forget blue no matter who in November because Nazis or something. I think that sums up our situation.
Health care. According to Breaking Points’ Krystal, Joe Biden is on board with raising Medicare Premiums. She bashes him for siding with insurance companies over seniors. Tell me again why Biden was a better choice for my middle class wallet than Trump. I need to know since the same 2 guys might be our only choices in November. Tell me how Biden or Trump will make a difference when NY democrats are already trying to screw UFT Medicare recipients and our democrat president is screwing Americsn seniors nationwide. Who isn’t a corporate democrat, James? Same number as republicans. Zero. There is no difference on my wallet or my working conditions. NCLB was Bush. RttT was Obama. Both hurt teachers. Neither helped the middle class.
