New York Teacher Union Official Accepted Thousands in Prestigious Tickets

The president of the United Federation of Teachers accepted thousands of dollar in US Open tickets from a law firm reaping million of dollars in revenue from the teacher union.  Susan Edelman and Melissa Klein have the story in the New York Post.

NYC teachers-union chief Michael Mulgrew accepted $8,250 in US Open tennis tickets from a law firm the union uses, records show.

Mulgrew, president of the United Federation of Teachers, received the pricey “benefit” five years in a row between 2012 and 2016 from Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, a firm that collected $15.5 million in fees from the UFT in that time.
