3rd anniversary of 2019 Chicago Teachers Union strike gives glimpse of Amendment 1 – Illinois Policy

Government unions in Illinois already have a right to negotiate over a wide variety of subjects, including wages, hours and terms and conditions of employment. But in 2019, CTU was demanding more. CTU wanted the district to “advocate for a city housing policy that creates affordable housing at a rate greater than or equal to the creation of market rate housing,” take the legislative position CTU wanted on “rent control” and institute a program to help its new teachers buy homes.

Folks, this “anniversary” is why you need to study the history of public employee unions from being illegal yesteryear to the train wreck the CPS have become.

Believe it or not, FDR was against public employee unions for good reason.
