UFT elections
Twenty-nine of 31 UFT-endorsed candidates scored victories in the Sept. 14 Democratic Party primaries, and UFT volunteers were heavily involved in key contested races. Victors handily beat opponents, some of whose campaigns were financed by hedge-fund managers allied with anti-union Democrats for Education Reform.
In a landslide victory, UFT members elected Michael Mulgrew president of the union, giving him 91 percent of the votes cast. The American Arbitration Association announced the unofficial tally on April 8.
The UFT has a new president. It’s Michael Mulgrew, the union’s chief operating officer since 2008 and its vice president for career and technical education since 2005.
