The Chicago Teachers union doesn’t just want 9% annual raises, they want that and even more – Wirepoints on The Shaun Thompson Show
Ted joined Shaun Thompson to talk about about the Chicago Teachers Union’s absurd new contract demands, why so many Chicago teachers are chronically absent, and Brandon Johnson’s failed first year as mayor.
Considering that Chicago public sector union pensions are the result of a decades long criminal collusion between unions and politicians, the taxpayers owe the unions ZERO. The votes-in-exchange-for-gold-plated-pensions scam is flat out organized crime and a RICO violation. The public sector unions can argue until their heads explode that they stole this money fair and square but that doesn’t change the facts that it is pure and simple criminal collusion. I personally feel no need to pay for this profligate mugging.
Too bad you’re not an IL judge. Instead, it appears that basically your heated opinion is worth bupkis.
My opinion is the opinion of most sensible Chicagoan’s. Ultimately the public pension folks well end up with bupkis when the money runs out.
hahahahahaha. Good luck with that TPG. Look to Harvey Illinois for answers. Massive layoffs and services cut but pensions are still being paid. The best you can hope for with Chicago is a 5 or 10% cut far down the road. Politically it’s a non-starter right now. Maybe some day you’ll get your wish. In the meantime, steaks and fine wine are on the menu along with cruising on the 40 foot sea ray. Life is good.
No one will bail them out, it will end up in the courts. Taxpayers will be the biggest losers as always. It is total unsustainable as it is now. Nothing but a system set up to screw over everyone involved. The unions knew there was no way it was affordable but did not care.
Money printer go burrr.
In a just world Chicagoans would pay for their mistakes.
Maybe if JoeyB is reelected in 2024 he will somehow in his rapidly declining cognitive state agree for the Feds to bail out Taxistan.
I’m fine with a Fed bailout of Taxistan if the Illinois public sector unions are also required to help bailout SS.
Seems like a fair trade off.
Hey Dunce the Fed can’t just bail out cities but why would anyone expect anything Intelligent from you anyway Stupid is as Stupid does in your case
After reading this article JB will immediately issue an executive order to begin building landing pads across the state for aliens to utilize.
