Thanks to the constant venom of the New York City editorial boards, the public is allowed to think that teachers get paid for the summer. This is NOT true. Teachers are paid for 10 months and the pay is spread out for the remaining 2 months. As always, the city does very well by this arrangement. As a result of this, they are able to hold on to the interest.
Everyone can't wait to jump on the backs of teachers. Too bad that the UFT has become such a weak union that this is allowed to go on and on. New leadership is needed regarding the UFT leadership. Randi Weingarten's Unity Caucus has been in power for over 40 years now. It's time for a change. When Ms. Weingarten finally leaves the UFT presidentcy to devote her efforts at the AFT, there has to be a new direction. Thanks to the 2005 contract teachers gave up far too many hard fought gains.
