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.
Basic math tells us that if 38K represents 9% of government union membership, there are more than 422K government union members in Illinois. If, as reported by the Department of Numbers website, 6,094,975 Illinoisans are employed, that means 7% of employed Illinoisans work for the government.
The rest of us are in the majority – keep that in mind in November.
