contract

Members of the three faculty unions who went on strike last month approved their new contract Monday.

The leaders of the three faculty unions that went on strike last month agreed to recommend the tentative contract to their members on Sunday night.

'The easy thing to understand is that this does increase the strain on the MTA's budget. The harder thing to figure out is by how much.'

Details about the contract come as NYCHA continues to struggle to provide basic services like heat and hot water for its 400,000 tenants and to complete a court-mandated lead paint inspection.

A third of the city's households still don't have access to Fios, despite a promise made under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

It's not clear why exactly.

"None of us were expecting to be here today."

"We're basically keeping our fingers crossed that someone doesn't call and say they are doing very badly."

"My teachers aren't here, so why am I going?"

"The weirdest thing they did was bring in these sort-of pretend teachers."
