==Early life==
Weingarten was born in 1957 in New York City to Gabriel and Edith (Appelbaum) Weingarten. Her father was an electrical engineer and her mother a teacher.〔〔Wadler, Joyce ("Hoping to Continue Education as Union Head" ), ''The New York Times'', January 20, 1998.〕 Weingarten grew up in Rockland County, New York, and attended Clarkstown High School North in New City, New York.〔 A congregant of Beth Simchat Torah synagogue, she considers herself a deeply religious Jew.〔Nathan-Kazis, Josh, ("The Leading Jew in Labor Wears Pearls" ) ''The Forward'', May 12, 2010.〕〔Chan, Sewell, ("Teachers' Union Chief Discusses Gay Identity" ), ''The New York Times'', October 12, 2007.〕
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.〔
From 1979 to 1980, Weingarten was a legislative assistant for the Labor Committee of the New York State Senate. She received a Bachelor of Science in labor relations from the ILR School at Cornell University in 1980 and a J.D. from the Cardozo School of Law in 1983.〔
