Mamdani Appoints De Blasio Alum Liz Vladeck to Lead Labor Relations Office thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/… via @THECITYNY

Interesting pick. Strong labor history past. Her relationship with @NYCSchools poses a challenging dynamic with @UFT.
Liz is apparently is the great-granddaughter of Baruch Chaney Vladek - Belarusian-born Jewish American labor leader, journalist, socialist politician, and civic reform.

If research is correct… this is the labor law lineage she brings with her:
Baruch Charney Vladeck
(1886-1938)
Socialist leader, labor organizer,
NYC councilman
>
Stephen Charney Vladeck
Labor and civil rights attorney
>
Bruce Charney Vladeck
Former administrator of Medicare and Medicaid under President Clinton
>
Elizabeth "Liz" Charney Vladeck
NYC DOE Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel

Yup and when Weisberg ran the SCA board it riddled with corruption & was accountable to no one except him and Eric
Adams. Good try. susanedelman2.substack.com/p…
Who is in charge of education in New York State, anyway? It's a really hard question to answer — and therein lies a huge problem, writes Daniel Weisberg. vitalcitynyc.org/make-the-go…

Meghan Mulgrew, daughter of teachers union prez Mike Mulgrew, used personal texts to discuss issues as senior adviser at @NYCDCAS because she "wished to keep the communications private," a co-worker said.
“Hey didn’t want this in teams,” Mulgrew began a message, referring to Microsoft Teams, which archives all content as official records.
Such messages by Mulgrew and other DCAS managers appear to violate rules meant to ensure that discussions of city business are preserved as official records subject to public disclosure, @THECITYNY reports.

Since @nycretirees are being ignored, can @JoannAriola32 @Lynn4NYC @SpeakerMenin find out why in the new NYCEPPO plan calling 911 & getting an FDNY ambulance is out of network?
Or was this another secret the MLC leadership kept from you? Att: Health & Civil Service committees.
@ShirleyAldebol @tiffany_caban @JimGennaro @TyHankerson @CMCrystalHudson @CMMercedesCD46 @frankmorano @ChrisMarteNYC @HarveyforNY @CarlMichaelW @CnDelarosa @SimchaFelderNY
This puts the employee & retiree holding the expense of the ambulance bill. Why is FDNY out of network?
Ps: if anyone in OLR listens, ask them why they aren’t letting Medicare Retirees know the premiums, drug formulary and drug costs of the part D plan BEFORE open enrollment- and why they won’t let us buy a cheaper plan on the marketplace and keep younger dependents on the city plan.
Asking for 250,000 members who served.
Hello 911? This is an emergency. Please send an ambulance that is not from FDNY so I don't go into medical debt. #NYCEPPO

Today, Gov. Hochul announced that New York State will opt into the Trump administration's voucher program. Giving up local control of public education to the federal government through this scheme is a failure of leadership. Gov. Hochul will bear the responsibility, but our students, educators, and families will bear the price. The UFT is disappointed in this decision and we will continue to stand with parents, educators and public school supporters to do what we can to roll back this policy and protect our classrooms. Full statement: uft.org/news/press-releases/…
ALT The image features the UFT logo at the top against a blue background. Below is a quote from Michael Mulgrew, UFT President, criticizing the transfer of local education control to the federal government through the Trump administration's private school voucher scheme. The quote highlights concerns about leadership and the impact on students, educators, and families.

Neither of these bonuses makes any sense. it’s the law and @ZohranKMamdani is the @nycmayor and has mayoral control. Just develop a real plan and get it done.

Many NYC principals make more than $200K a year. Now they get a bonus up to $10K for complying with a state law.
"if the city asks school leaders to take on the difficult work of reorganizing programs, staffing, and scheduling to meet the class size mandate, that work and responsibility must be acknowledged” --and compensated, their union says.
Educators of NYC retweeted
Bizarre –1st bonuses for teachers assigned to classes that don’t comply w/class size law &now bonuses for principals if they do? What if they don’t have the space – which DOE has done nothing to provide. None of this makes sense. NYSED should step in.

WHY NOT TAKE THE WIN?
Mayor to NYT: yes let’s give paras *permanent* raises through collective bargaining.
Mulgrew: Let’s instead give paras a one-time bonus through Speaker Menin’s legislation, to start a war with the new mayor prior to the beginning of contract negotiations.

NEW: While everyone focused on NYC's ban on AI in schools, LA also quietly banned AI tools for all students, and DC public schools laid out new caps on screen time
It's all b/c parents organizing and pushing them to do it. And more cities are going to follow

@NYCMayor and @DOEChancellor should address how the new, stricter AI policy will impact @UFT's partnership with Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic in a $23 million program to give AI training and software to NYC teachers.

PROTECT THE PROMISE.
NYC retirees rallied, organized and went to court to protect the healthcare they earned.
They shouldn't have to fight again every time an administration looks for savings.
Give retirees certainty.
Protect what they earned.
