NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Opposes $10,000 Bonus for Paraprofessional School Aides

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is opposing a proposed $10,000 bonus for paraprofessional educational support staff in the city's public schools, a move that reverses a previous campaign pledge. This decision sets the stage for a potential confrontation with the United Federation of Teachers, representing approximately 200,000 educators and staff.
