More from Amy's interview with Daniel Alicea. Listen to the next segment about issues facing UFT Retirees and Medicare Advantage; RSVP for our Retiree Meet & Greet with the Amy and the ABC slate
Last week, Amy was interviewed on Talk Out of School, on WBAI 99.5 FM, with Daniel Alicea. In this first part, they discussed her historic decision to run for UFT president in the upcoming UFT election with the A Better Contract slate. She emphasized the need for a more member-driven approach and a unified city labor movement. She also expressed her concerns about the union's current transactional and service model strategy, inability to deliver raises that outpace the cost of living and the current leadership's mishandling of healthcare and Welfare Fund.
Amy also shared her evolution and journey to her decision to run against the 16-year incumbent, Michael Mulgrew, and his establishment Unity administrative caucus that has controlled the UFT for the last 60 years.
