Penalty on New York City Teachers Union for Taylor Law Strike
The Public Service Employment Relations Board punished the New York City United Federation of Teachers for a 14 day September strike under the Taylor Law. The union loses dues checkoff privileges for one year, forcing 50 000 members to be billed directly by the union rather than through the Board of Education. The penalty shifts collection costs to the UFT and could impact Transit Workers Union deterrence, as the board aims to enforce public employee restraint.
