The NYC Department of Education Adds Insult To Injury: Wants To Hire Teachers For Remote Teacher iZone 2022-2023

 



After hundreds of teachers asked for religious or medical exemptions from getting the COVID vaccine and were summarily fired or suspended without pay and their fingerprints put into the problem code database permanently blocking them from getting paid for any DOE job in NYC, the teachers found the ad posted below on INDEED and other employment websites.

The teachers who requested an exemption are good teachers, yet punished for not getting vaxxed. They all worked from March 2020 to June 2021 remotely, or in their schools, without a problem, until Eric Adams and the NYC Department of Health issued the COVID Mandate which ordered everyone to get the vaccine or be terminated. most tried to Grieve, got denied at Step 1, then either denied at Step 2 or blocked from Step 2 by the UFT. No one was given a 3020-a arbitration, although the Contract with the UFT says that no one's salary may be reduced in any way until after they go to a full hearing with an arbitrator, face their accusers, and tell their story.

And now the Department wants to hire new teachers to work remotely, exactly what the unvaxxed teachers wanted to do.

Now those teachers who are left in NYC - after many have fled the State - will have to sue to get their jobs back and/or their names cleared, which could take a long time and use a lot of money that these educators don't have.

What an insult, Mr. Banks and Mayor Adams!
