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.
Lawyers love this stuff. A bit of wealth redistribution echoes Jefferson’s observation that “the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.” Google can afford it and as with most class actions the so-called victims will see a small windfall while the lawyers reap a large harvest. Google will find a work-around and continue to thrive. Just a yawn for the rest of us.
