And in 2 seconds flat every teachers union in state, and for that matter every public sector union in the state, is going to demand equal paid days off to lobby for themselves on the taxpayers dime…..WOW, unbelievable!!
If CPS is giving ONLY 600 teachers & staff a paid day-off aren’t they going to have to offer a paid day-off to all CPS teachers & staff to supposedly lobby? Will paid lobbying day-off be included in CTU’s new contract?
