Paul Vallas: Public Employee Unions Hold Key to Checkmating the Chicago Teachers Union – Chicago Contrarian

"Clearly, City Hall has prioritized CTU and its schools over other public employee unions, schools, and agencies. This is evident in both salary increases and headcount growth. Contrast the city’s reduction of more than 2,100 public safety positions with more than 9,000 new full-time budgeted positions added to CPS. There are 7.5 school district employees per student, including more than 22,000 non-teaching positions at CPS — more than 10,000 more non-teachers than the total number of Chicago police officers."

No. It isn’t up to the public unions. It is up to elected officials to clean up the mess they created. And the Supreme Court of IL needs to back up a sound financial plan because the current trajectory cannot stand. A true leader would not stick their head in the sand and ignore the crises around them. JB is not a leader.
