Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints
May 8, 2024

Details emerging about Chicago Teachers Union’s upcoming contract show just how divorced its demands, both extreme and expensive, are from the reality at Chicago schools. It’s not just about massive salary increases, but also about money for migrant students, climate initiatives, abortions and gender-affirming care. About blocking parental notification. Count on CTU’s demands to veer further from reality until the public finally says no.
Weekly crime statistics from the Chicago Police Department: Report through 5/4/2024.
Gov. JB Pritzker calls it “ethics” reform.
It’s rare to see city leaders in Chicago take an open, unabashed stance on the collapse of literacy. To complain is deemed as too political, too racist or too anti-public schools. So it’s refreshing to see Willie Wilson, a successful businessman and leader of the black community, call for a literacy initiative “with the goal of getting 100% of Black students reading at grade level.”
According to Reuters the state of Michigan is having the same concerns since Gotion is also building a battery plant there. The jobs will be nice but what does it mean if the controlling company is located in China? The factory will not be a union shop I assume.
I wonder if Pritzker read this article? Demand worldwide for EV’s is going down and JB is pushing for more EV’s. Maybe the Gotion facility is better off making Duracell Hearing Aid batteries since the pols are deaf to market demands.

Electric vehicles are the future, it’s just a matter of how quickly the public wants to adopt them. The sooner we can use EVs the sooner we can stop being dependent on oil.
Once we have more charging stations across the country that will help with range anxiety.
Who is in support of this plant, other than Jabba the Guvnuh?
Anyone who cares about future jobs. The car industry is going electric, and this plant will provide many good jobs for decades to come. Illinois has chase so many businesses away, beggars cannot be choosers.
