Members for more outside contracts
The Mayor’s new budget targets 120 Local 372 SAPIS, 50 Parent Coordinators
and 50 Loaders and Handlers to be laid off as of June 25, 2010 and July 9,
2010. Meanwhile,the Mayor has ramped up his outside contracts this year by
$500 million in taxpayer funds.
Race to the Top backs up hedge funds while handcuffing
state legislators.
The Federal Government’s “Race to the Top” education grant proposal requires an increase
of Charter Schools as a condition for a state’s eligibility
for additional education funding.
In an article entitled, “Charter Schools’ Unlikely New Cheerleaders: Financiers,”
the New York Times, reported in the May 10, 2010 edition, that charter schools have
“become a favorite cause of many of the wealthy founders of New York City
hedge funds.”
