"Union claims rise in COVID cases makes classroom instruction unsafe
Chicago teachers are preparing to strike over what they say are unsafe working conditions caused by a spike in coronavirus cases.
The Chicago Teachers Union has scheduled a Tuesday vote to determine whether its 25,000 members will refuse to return to the classroom, WBEZ reported. On Sunday, more than 6,000 union members at a virtual town hall said they would not feel safe resuming classroom instruction following winter break. Chicago schools were set to reopen Monday, though some schools have already moved to remote learning without district approval. ..."

Essential workers my ***. They already only work 8 months a year considering Summer break and all other holidays. With weekends it is even less (ran the math and it is under 200 days a year)! Truth is they are still being paid and they prefer that and not working to working for OUR taxpayer dollars!
Fully vaccinated, nothing to fear yeah?
Idiotic overpaid morons.......
They may find that they are no longer needed. I would imagine a robot teacher would grade papers just fine.
Friggin’ unions. The word WORK strikes terror in their black little hearts.
there's a reason why workers like teachers get to stay home....they are apparently not important nor essential....
I unfortunately was in the chicago public school system growing up. They went on strike every year for more money. They don’t like working.
I’m just a ditchdigger, but I fit 3 different categories of an actual “essential worker “
My daughter even fit one, because liquor stores were considered essential. Try letting the hard core drinkers go without and see what happens
Or the dads and moms stuck home with the crumb crunchers all day without a little bit of “helper” in the garage fridge
Would they strike if it was just the flu? I am getting to the point I think Omicron is just a Flu variant.
You would think the Illinois Democrat machine that runs Chicago and the state would “share” some of the billions in federal money they’ve gotten their hands on with their teacher cronies. No honor among thieves!
worst decision ever made in education was allowing the public sector to unionize.
Chicago? People CHOOSE to live there?
Wait, what is that flying away over there????
Oh, it was my last fck.
I guess I have no more fcks left to give, sorry.
Supposedly it is more closely related to the Alpha variant of the VID than Delta, and heavily mutated. Some are starting to think that it was altered in a lab and released by some white hat bioengineers in order to spread immunity.
Fascinating notion.
And yes, I bet they would strike over a nasty flu year.
A friend of mine is an elementary school teacher in a wealthy suburb of Chicago, unvaccinated and conservative libertarian - unlike everyone else working there. Everyone just assumes she’s like them because she doesn’t engage in political commentary. If she does, she just nods along to avoid the impending abuse. They’ve been pushing to go back to virtual, which may work for a wealthy suburb where moms stay home, but in the city, a lot of kids’ families can’t even afford internet let alone a computer.
“Chicago Teachers Prepare To Strike Over Return to Classroom”
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group of voters.
Get back in your classroom of don’t get f-ing paid ya worthless mookabooking teachers.
My opinion of teachers could not be any lower.
Worthless union scum they be.
Fire em all if they do.
Why should they have to go into schools and actually have to work for a living when they can sit in the comfort and ease of their own homes and not have to deal with classroom behavior issues and still get paid the same?
Patience juice is what I’ve heard it called.
They’d rather drink wine and play with their cats all day until they pass out
Safe is no masks, no mandates, no testing, no "social distancing".
