🚨 After clearing the mayor’s desk, the Respect Check is now law.

NYC paraprofessionals will receive an additional $10,000 in 2027, with the first installment in January – because you fought for it.

Thank you to our champions in New York City Council – especially Speaker Julie Menin and Council Member Carmen De La Rosa – for rallying behind something both obvious and long overdue: paraprofessionals should be able to afford to live in the city they serve.

Paraprofessionals drove this campaign from day one. Their win is a win for every educator, and every public sector worker in this city.

But this is not the end of our fight. If the city tries anything in court, we're ready. We won't stop until this is permanent and pensionable. Our paras deserve more base pay and stronger benefits that we will continue to push for through collective bargaining in our next contract.

For our members, be on the lookout for an email from UFT on what comes next for paraprofessionals.

But in the meantime, this milestone is worth celebrating! 🥳🎉

Twenty-five years after 9/11, we honor those who ran toward danger, helped our city recover and rebuild, and carried the consequences for years afterward.

Join us Tuesday, September 8 at 4:30pm on Liberty Street for Labor Day and a special tribute to the workers of September 11.

Our City. Our Fight. Our Future.

On August 15, 1989, CWA Local 1103 Chief Steward Gerry Horgan died after being hit by a car - driven by a scab - while on the picket line, fighting for his union sisters and brothers during the 1989 strike against NYNEX.

On the day of Gerry’s funeral, CWA members dressed in red lined the streets for a mile leading to the church - “a red wall of people leading the way.”

Since then CWAers throughout the country continue to wear red every Thursday to honor Gerry’s legacy and show our solidarity with one another ❤️
