Teachers Union Looking for Retroactive Pay Also


  The United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew said that the 100,000 member teachers union members have been working for a long time without a pay raise. Mulgrew added that back pay or retroactive pay will become a big issue in negotiations with the de Blasio administration. Estimates of over 3 Billion dollars have been calculated as to what it could cost the city if the UFT demands were met for back pay to the teachers union.

  This comes one day after the DEP Police union scored a new contract with retroactive pay of $50,000.00 for its 200 members. The UFT would be requesting somewhere near two-thirds of that settlement for its members amounting to over 3 Billion dollars.
