Thank you so much to our incredible panelists from last night’s MPX & COVID town hall @bruce_y_lee@jaywwalker@DrKYSR and @Oneris for the informative & engaging information! Your knowledge, experiences & compassion were greatly appreciated. (1/6)
Some things we learned were: MPX passes through close physical contact, from infected objects, and large respiratory droplets. MPX can infect anyone, no one is more vulnerable than anyone else. (2/6)

@UFT Town Hall call is about to start. There's going to be a lot packed into this call, including 1. yesterday's Memorandum of Agreement that we covered here yesterday night and 2. the (very weak) safety conditions for schools this coming year #UFTTownHall
@UFT Town Hall is starting now with Mulgrew mentioning the storms of last night and helping one another. Too bad @UFTUnity's negotiations with @NYCSchools safety conditions/protocols aren't as protective: here's the layout of it
In case you didn't think there was more news today: attached is our @UFT MOA with @NYCSchools for SY2021-22.
Initial reaction from a MORE member: $225 x 80k teachers = $18mil that could have paid a full $60k salary to 300 providers for a centralized remote option #RestoreRemote@UFT Mulgrew:
-teachers & related service providers will get paid $225 Oct. 31 for setting up a digital classroom 9/9-10/1
-setup will be for 1st day of an emergency closure; staff won't have to upload content >24 hours b4
(so we'll be rushing to post stuff during quarantines)

We're about to livetweet the @UFT Town Hall with President Michael Mulgrew, and we have a LOT of questions after that backroom deal he negotiated w/ @NYCMayor and had the Delegate Assembly approve without seeing the resolution. Follow this thread or at #UFTTownHall for updates.
Questions for #UFTTownHall:
- why wasn’t membership polled on this deal?
- is there a chance we will still strike?
- which scientists/experts recommended monthly 10-20% random testing, considering that's a math. likelihood of each school member getting tested once a year?

We're about to live-tweet the @UFT Town Hall on this thread. We have MANY questions on the UFT's stance on school reopening right now and how we're going to fight back as #UnionStrong. Here we go, follow this thread: 👇
Live tweet of @UFT President Mulgrew's call happening now at #UFTTownHall. Please ask ALL your school reopening questions to him on the call. We need to stop an unsafe school reopening given that there's no budget, resources, logistically good plan, and crumbling infrastructure.

The @UFT Town Hall w/ Michael Mulgrew is about to begin at 3:15pm. We will be tweeting live updates from our MORE Twitter account. Hope to hear some good updates, but judging from the Delegate Assembly yesterday we expect defeatist language around budget cuts and excessing.
@UFT Town Hall has just started. Michael Mulgrew is giving introductions, and telling people they can ask questions. Moment of silence: lost 82 in-service and retired members. Rest in power to all those UFT members.
