A Class-Struggle Program to Reopen New York City Schools Safely

We in Class Struggle Education Workers seek to mobilize the unions’ power at this crucial moment not to keep New York City schools closed but to make them safe to reopen, and in the process fight for fundamental gains. We can do so now because this is a crucial juncture when parents and masses of working people are acutely aware that their children’s future depends on it. A class-struggle program must be enforced by union power, including strike action, and based on the principle that those directly involved in the schools – the educators, students, parents and workers – make the decisions about what is safe and how teaching should be carried out, not some educrats in distant offices, highly paid consultants, charter-school profiteers or capitalist politicians.
