UFT May Have to Dramatically Slash $182M Budget

The United Federation of Teachers is drafting plans to dramatically slash its $182 million budget — anticipating a Supreme Court ruling that would bar mandatory “union dues” from government workers’ paychecks to support union activities, The Post has learned.

The ruling could deliver a severe blow to union budgets by reducing membership and revenues by millions of dollars.

The 187,000-member UFT collects $56 twice monthly from each teacher’s paycheck via automatic payroll deduction . . .
