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.
$1.11 per therm for Nicor in May and .99/therm for Peoples gas. I turned back my water heater a bit and wash clothes in cold water and spin a few extra times then put in dryer. Maybe a clothes line soon for bulky items. What concerns me is natural gas prices last April/May went to .58/per therm and never went down. I hope $1.11 is for a short time and not what’s to expect next winter.
Short term unlikely it’s suppose to get worse, all by design Freddy
