Re: Maternity DOE

would like to update everyone on the 6 weeks paid leave- I spoke to someone in the UFT and asked for an update/if it would be unrealistic to hope it would be settled by September. I was told that they are extremely confident that it will be settled before September, but that the terms of the leave will be different than what is out there now. Right now (for non-union), you are granted 6 weeks paid and can choose any 6 weeks within 12 weeks after birth to be paid. Meaning, if you gave birth in July/August, you can use to begin your 6 weeks paid on the first day of school..
However, I am being told that we may not be granted that same "luxury", and might be 6 weeks paid immediately after birth, which wouldn't help those of us due in the summer and getting paid already. They said they are not 100% sure what the negoations will be yet, but to keep that in mind.
I was also told that we will be "giving something up" in order to be granted the 6 weeks paid. The current discussion is that all teachers will give up 1 car day, and only be granted 9 instead of 10
Just an FYI for you all!
interesting thank you for the update

Wait, what? I had a baby 5 years ago and had to use all my sick days. Went back to work 3 years ago with 0 days, and have been trying to rebuild my CAR. It's not an easy thing to do with two kids in daycare. Now, the DOE is going to give teachers fewer sick days, so it will take me longer to rebuild my bank...how is that fair?

I agree with you on that one. This was an example that the guy on the phone said for "giving up something" in order to get this maternity leave benefit. It doesn't necessarily mean that will be the case, but it is an option they are considering. I doubt it will go over well, and I'm betting on the fact that they will do something else to negotiate...

reached out to my contact at the rego park UFT offices, and this is the response I got:
Good afternoon. At this point there is nothing new to report except that the negotiations are ongoing. The Union believes this is something that the membership should have (and should have had). With negotiations, there is always a price and we are negotiating that piece. Just be patient =)
