“We have promised the teachers and parents of New York City that we would stand and fight if we feel a school is unsafe,” United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew said.
It is illegal for teachers in New York to strike. New York’s Taylor law says that “no public employee or employee organization shall engage in a strike, and no public employee or employee organization shall cause, instigate, encourage, or condone a strike.” The term “strike” means any concerted stoppage of work or slowdown by public employees.
Mr. Mulgrew was undeterred, saying, “We are prepared to go to court and take a job action. And if the court deems that we are breaking the Taylor law so be it. We will deal with the ramifications of it.”
