We& #39;re about to livetweet the @UFT Town Hall with President Michael Mulgrew, and we have a LOT of questions after that backroom deal he negotiated w/ @NYCMayor and had the Delegate Assembly approve without seeing the resolution. Follow this thread or at #UFTTownHall for updates.
Questions for #UFTTownHall:
- why wasn’t membership polled on this deal?
- is there a chance we will still strike?
- which scientists/experts recommended monthly 10-20% random testing, considering that& #39;s a math. likelihood of each school member getting tested once a year?

Questions for #UFTTownHall: @UFT
- when is the school calendar coming out? Will UFT agree to a return w/o a calendar?
- what protections are there for school staff who go into school and see that it& #39;s unsafe?
-safety of covid killer spray since it’s come out it isn’t safe?

@UFT Prez Michael Mulgrew: largest #UFTTownHall they& #39;ve ever done, thanks us for "getting on, finding out, dealing with the questions, especially as we& #39;re leading up to Tuesday" when we have to return to buildings
YES WE HAVE A MILLION QUESTIONS, ESP. SINCE YOUR DEAL YESTERDAY.

@UFT Mulgrew: singing the praises of having enough "electrostatic machines" and soap and cleaning supplies that we didn& #39;t have in March. Mandated testing program in the fall. Delegate Assembly, 2,800 heard & approved (even tho they hadn& #39;t heard the plan til hours b4) #UFTTownHall
@UFT Prez Mulgrew: talking about the months of lack of planning from @NYCSchools. Still dealing with Spring Break, admin& #39;s lack of understanding what remote learning is. Needed to start planning and talking in April: that never happened. #UFTTownHall
Getting a LOT of @UFT members who haven& #39;t been able to get in: send us a DM and we& #39;ll send you the number to call for the #UFTTownHall going on right now
@UFT Prez Mulgrew talking about how the trust between teachers and @NYCSchools had been irreparably broken and we haven& #39;t talked about it. We& #39;ve went through a lot as NYC. #UFTTownHall
@UFT Prez Mulgrew: when word came out that we were having school-based meetings and talking with chapters of what a strike would look like, @NYCMayor finally asked to talk. "I think we should reopen the schools." "So do I, but only until they& #39;re safe."
