NYC teachers get fat 20% pay hike in new, 5-year, $6.4 billion deal

New York City educators will get fat pay hikes and bonuses of up to 20% under a new five-year, $6.4 billion labor contract announced Tuesday by Mayor Eric Adams and the United Federation of Teachers.

The top teacher salaries for the longest serving teachers will exceed $150,000 for the first time.

The proposed contract also cuts in half — from 15 to eight years — the length of time it takes most teachers to reach a salary of $100,000.

The agreement covering 120,000 teachers and other staff also expands voluntary virtual learning opportunities for students — an initiative pushed by Adams and Schools Chancellor David Banks.

“It’s a great contract for the teachers. What’s in it for the students? We need to put something in there for the students,” said Assemblyman Sam Pirrozolo (R-Staten Island), past president of the island Community Education Council 31.

Always happens across the country when an election years nears it’s the money loop in action vote buying.

Teachers may say the teach a class but they don’t have any class.

150 grand for a job requiring no technical skills or creative ability is preposterous.

And the Teachers union will continue to support Democrats.

And the State legislature will find a way to get the money from Upstate New York communities!

A Good teacher would be worth 150K

But with Unions all it takes to get that pay is time in the job.

The city should have gotten sometime for that 20% if that were really barging with the union

Maybe expedited firing process for teachers those teacher accused of molesting students.
