Teachers in over 1,000 New York City public schools will lead labor “Teach-Ins” for fellow educators on Monday, Jan. 30.

Educators will use the “Teach-Ins” to brainstorm ways to fight for a fair contract for members of the United Federation of Teachers.

UFT members will meet before and after school, and during staff lunch periods, to discuss with their colleagues - no students - the impact of the contract on educators and the communities they serve.

Press is invited to a lunchtime rally led by staff from the Lower Manhattan Arts Academy
Time: 11:30 am to 12:30 pm
Location: Outside the Whitney Museum, 99 Gansevoort St, New York, NY 10014

Interviews with educators from every borough are also available.

The United Federation of Teachers' contract expired in September 2022. The union began bargaining with New York City and its Department of Education in October 2022.
