Radical socialists who back anti-Israel groups and alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione are steadily making inroads into one of the city’s most powerful labor unions, sources warn The Post.
Candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America are polling strongly in elections to lead the United Federation of Teachers — who represent nearly 200,000 educators and manage a welfare fund with $1 billion in assets — which take place next month, according to a source.
The progressive political movement, which backed Vermont governor Bernie Sanders during his presidential campaign in 2016 and was behind New York Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez’s insurgent victory two years later, set up a strategy to infiltrate labor unions in 2018, according to a report in Politico, citing an internal DSA memo.
Among the candidates vying for the post of president is Amy Arundell, a former Queens borough representative to the UFT who was removed from her position in October 2023 following a public spat with current union leader Michael Mulgrew over the union’s resolution to condemn the October 7, 2023 terrorist strikes on Israel, which left 1,200 Israelis dead.
“Zionists are literally the most evil people to walk this earth,” Arundell reposted on her now-disabled X account.
Steve Swieciki, a social studies teacher and candidate for UFT vice president of high schools, described himself as a DSA member in a social media post, and reposted a meme of Luigi Mangione bearing the #FreeLuigi hashtag and the message “Make bad people feel unsafe.”
Mangione is accused of stalking and murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson in midtown Manhattan last year. He has pleaded not guilty.
Olivia Swisher, another candidate for UFT president, has links to People’s Forum and was photographed at a meeting of the group in 2022. Swisher follows @nyceducatorsforpalestine on Instagram and...

Why not. They’ve already conquered the rats.
They lost. Their just too delusional to know it. Most Americans aren’t buying this crap. Socialism in any form has no place in this county. I’m assuming the Federation of Teachers is funded by our tax dollars through grants, donations, etc. Perhaps Elon Musk should take a look if he hasn’t already. Defund this garbage and get rid of hamas wannabes in our colleges.
Social security. Medicare. Medicaid. Public schools. Subsidized private schools. Food stamps. Farm subsidies. Student loan guarantees, then debt forgiveness, then more student loan guarantees. The list goes on.
You’re right, but we’re nowhere as socialist like a good chunk of Europe and other countries are, and I think the tide is turning here. I hope to God it is anyway. They lost by quite a bit so there is plenty of support against it. Got to drain the swamp, and the radicals.

Do not misunderestimate the apathetic stupidity of the masses...
Medicare? Feh. I pay more for that then I paid for real insurance.
I would rather have my old insurance back.
Oh, I don’t underestimate the apathetic or ignorant either. But now, Pres. Joe Brainedead and Cabala Harris are for the most part out of the picture. We hear some unintelligible noise from them from time to time, but they’re almost gone. I’m pretty confident the far left is going to squeal and cry and have all sorts of temper tantrums but their tactics are wearing thin and less and less are buying the bs and less are putting up with it. It’s not the masses that are to blame. We are a part of the masses that elected someone with some stones.
