Workers World: Meeting supports teachers in Puerto Rico
An April 4 meeting held at Hunter College in New York City to support the FMPR (Federación de Maestros de Puerto Rico), the teachers union in Puerto Rico that went out on strike from Feb. 21 to March 5, drew more than 100 people.
There was strong participation from New York’s United Federation of Teachers, which represents teachers of kindergarten through 12th grade; and from the Professional Staff Congress, the union that represents teachers and staff at the City University of New York. Outside the union movement, many members of the Latin@ community in New York also came out to show their solidarity.
