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.
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.
“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?
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".
Here Is The Chicago Teachers Union’s List Of 9 Demands Before They Return To Teaching
Empty classrooms: Every room must be hermetically sealed for a minimum of 3 months and flooded with bleach daily. Those cesspools of germs known as “kids” must not be allowed within 100 feet of a physical school. Let’s be honest— the fact that children are gross is undisputed. We teachers simply cannot risk being exposed to actual children and their grossness.
Teleportation machines: We all know that for us young teachers dying from a traffic accident is a thousand times more likely than dying from COVID. So what kind of insane maniac would drive a vehicle? Teleportation must be available to all possible destinations a teacher may need to go— like the coffee shop, or the yoga pants store.
Dance lessons: Dancing is one of the most important parts of a union protest. Teachers are being harmed by people mocking our dancing all the time. They don’t seem to get that we’re professional teachers who are supposed to be teaching, not dancing. We need to become professional dancers to adequately express our feelings, and so everyone will stop making fun of us.
End all science classes: But if kids take science classes, they might start listening to actual scientists. If they listen to actual scientists, they might find out that there they are at an almost 0% risk for contracting or spreading viruses. Then we might look bad.
Triple-masking at all times during Zoom calls: Seeing children’s actual faces on Zoom would cause tremendous anxiety. Triple-masking is a must until we are sure the virus cannot be spread through the World Wide Web.
24-hour Target delivery service: We do recognize that there are essential employees in the world, like the personal shoppers at Target. We want to honor them by asking them to work 24 hours per day because if they never leave Target, their risk of getting COVID is greatly reduced. Plus, at any moment we might need the newest line of stuff from that Magnolia place.
A popcorn machine in the break room: This goes without saying.
Personal bodyguard: These people have to be willing to literally lay down their lives for us, OK? Like, risk everything to make sure we’re safe, because caring for others is why they’re paid, and if they aren’t willing... wait... umm… just make sure they look like Dwayne Johnson.
