Timeline

1957

Rhonda "Randi" Weingarten (born December 18, 1957) is an American labor leader, attorney, and educator.

She is president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and a member of the AFL-CIO.

She is the former president of the United Federation of Teachers.

Weingarten was born in 1957 in New York City, to a Jewish family, Gabriel and Edith (Appelbaum) Weingarten.

Her father was an electrical engineer and her mother a teacher.

Weingarten grew up in Rockland County, New York, and attended Clarkstown High School North in New City, New York.

A congregant of Congregation Beit Simchat Torah, she considers herself a deeply religious Jew.

Weingarten's interest in trade unions and political advocacy was formed during childhood.

Her mother's union went on a seven-week strike when Weingarten was in the eleventh grade.

Under New York state's Taylor Law, her mother could have been fired for taking part in a strike.

Instead, she was fined two days' pay for every day she was on strike.

Later that year, the school board cut $2 million from the budget.

Weingarten and several other students convinced the school board to let them conduct a survey regarding the impact of the cuts.

The survey led several school board members to change their minds and rescind the cuts.

1979

From 1979 to 1980, Weingarten was a legislative assistant for the Labor Committee of the New York State Senate.

1980

She also worked as an attorney in the real estate department of Wien Malkin and Bettex.

In 1986, Weingarten became counsel to Sandra Feldman, then-president of the UFT.
