Chicago Teachers Union contract demands are totally divorced from reality – Wirepoints

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.

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.”
Fact. Government unions are unconstitutional and soon will be all eliminated due to their constitutional violation. The grifters, thieves and leeches of SEIU, AFSCME, CTU and IFT will soon need to find other ways to try and fleece the real workers of Illinois.
What case is coming before SCOTUS to make these changes? When will it happen? Stating “fact” without having any facts is quite comical. Public unions are well within their constitutional right to collectively bargain as it is enshrined in the Illinois Constitution. Good luck proving otherwise. lol
I voted with my feet over 20 years ago and my bank account is over $200K fatter.
The collective bargaining you so love in Illinois is a massive racket hoisted on taxpayers by corrupt Dems and their masters da public sector unions.
Collective bargaining wasn’t hoisted on taxpayers but rather decided upon by the taxpayers that they believe it’s fair to allow these unions and the negotiations that go with them. Some of you lunatics just can’t handle the will of the people.
Good quote and so true!!
Virginia is on the verge of the death spiral that comes when government unions conquer a state.
Virginia is for Lovers.
Illinois is for corrupt Dems!!
