On his morning radio show, Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that the city would be filing a lawsuit against the UFT concerning the terms of an agreement to assign more arbitrators to hear cases against teachers.

In response, UFT President Michael Mulgrew issued the following statement:

How typical of Bloomberg. The administration mismanages the disciplinary process, and in its last days tries to blame someone else for it. It’s a shame the Mayor is wasting public resources on this frivolous lawsuit, but we can all take comfort from the fact that Bloomberg will soon be only a bad memory to the people who care about schools.
