The powerful teacher union in New York is going around the city hall to increase the payment of special educational staff up to $ 10,000 per year.
Michael Marguroo's chairman of Michael Malgloo has supported his support behind the city council bill, which is essentially exceeding the negotiations with the Adams administration.
“The wage system currently used by New York has not recognized the job and influence of the semi -expert,” said Marguru on Thursday with 12 members on the stairs at the city hall.
“This law is trying to correct it,” he said.
“Many semi -specialists work one -on -one with children with autism, visual impairment, medical needs, and special education. Malgloo added that the current wage system is flawed, but he has not received qualified education. “
The city had a request for raising salaries, but the authorities said in June 2023 that the contract was negotiated in late 2027 when the contract was negotiated as part of a generous salary raising. He says he will discuss.
“Palaprophecis in New York City is important in our family's education experience, and we recognize the importance of securing fair compensation for all members of educational workers.” Spokesman Allison Macer in the city said.
“That's why the Adams administration has scored an increase in wages and other benefits in the current collective bargaining, and provided other benefits. In the next group negotiations, we enjoy discussing all of the union's economic demands. I am.
Ken Girardin, a research director of the government -based government -based Watchdog Group Public Public Policy Center, named Marguru's movements “abuse.”
“Raising salaries through the city council will bypass group negotiations. If the union can select a friend and change the contract conditions, we will defeat the purpose of collective negotiations,” he said.
“Group negotiations can be a huge cost for taxpayers, but this abuse worsens it.”
But Jiardin believes that it is a “legal” path that the union can take.
Marguru, who has been a boss of the union since 2009, has been re -elected this year, and has recently been given a serious blow to his campaign after undertaking the retired UFT's retired teacher. Ta.
The FACT has supervised about 300 union seats, with important voting and administrative authority, and represents other educators, such as tens of thousands of retired teachers, guidance counselors and para professionals.
Unlike other unions, thousands of retirees are allowed to vote in the UFT election.
His movements to get wage bumps for parproprofessionals also raised their eyebrows among some conservative members.
“In recent years, he has not been able to pull the rugs from retirees in the city in recent years, so he has finally challenged his actual work: fight for the interests of the members.”
“It's like appearing in the class in the past 5 minutes, but it may not work well.”
