UNIONIZED CHARTER SCHOOL TEACHERS TO PROTEST AGAINST THEIR OWN UNION OUTSIDE UFT HEADQUARTERS
~
Members Say UFT has Turned Back on Charter School Teachers and Students  

On Friday, March 26th at 4 p.m. a group of UFT members that teach at New York City charter schools will be protesting against their own union charging that the UFT has turned its back on charter school teachers and students.  
 
By supporting and actively pushing for a double cut to charter school funding, the UFT is calling for cuts to the pay and job-security of unionized teachers at charter schools across New York City.  The group of UFT member charter school teachers believes the UFT is undermining the livelihoods of the very members its supposed to represent and hurting the very children they claim it is their mission to serve.
 
The protest and rally will take place outside UFT Headquarters at 50 Broadway in lower Manhattan.
