CPS dropped mask mandate without good-faith bargaining with Chicago Teachers Union: judge – Chicago Tribune/MSN

“This decision, in some ways, comes as cold comfort, as the backward-looking damage of the mayor and CPS’ bad faith and illegal behavior cannot be undone,” CTU said in a statement Monday. “But the decision sets an important precedent that should deter the district from disregarding its legal and contractual obligations to its employees and their school communities in the future and aid the union’s ability to seek injunctive relief if CPS ever does so again.”
