 The new teachers contract is finally paying off.

Most members of the United Federation of Teachers will receive a $1,000 bonus on their paychecks Wednesday, union president Michael Mulgrew announced in an email to membership on Friday.

“We wanted to do more than tell you we appreciate your hard work — we wanted to take action to show you,” Mulgrew wrote.

Roughly 90,000 members — or 77% of eligible union voters — opted for ratification of the $9 billion contract on June 3. The one-time bonus was guaranteed upon approval of the contract.
