United Federation of Teacher members who are occupational and physical therapists overwhelmingly voted against the ratification of the five-year contract between the UFT and the city. 

Many occupational and physical therapists had been demanding that the contract include higher wages and pay equity between them and other public school employees, such as teachers and speech therapists.
