UFT fights for fired Merrick teachers

UFT President Michael Mulgrew, joined by parents and dismissed staff of Merrick Academy, today announced the union would seek to have the state Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) overturn the mass-firing of 11 Merrick staff members in the middle of the employees' negotiations for a contract. "No employees should be fired because they want to be treated fairly. No teachers should be fired for fighting for their students, their colleagues and their community," said Mulgrew.
