Chicago’s teacher’s union voted on Sunday to defy Chicago Public Schools administration and refuse to return to in-person teaching even though pupils are due back in classrooms on February 1st.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) has been locked in a power struggle with the union for some time, with teachers and union brass insisting that it is not safe for teachers to return to classrooms, even though Chicago’s private schools have been in-person for months. At one point, the Chicago Teachers Union, or CTU, suggested that any plan to return to in-classroom teaching would be both racist and sexist.
As the Daily Wire reported last week, some Chicago students — mostly preschoolers and those students with moderate to severe special needs — returned to empty classrooms, with teachers calling in sick to resist CPS’s demands that they return to classrooms. The union issued a list of demands to CPS instead, pledging to remain in “virtual” classrooms until “all school employees have had the opportunity to get vaccinated, or until the city’s positivity rate falls to 3 percent and its rate of new cases falls below 400 per day.”
The city’s positivity rate is now hovering around 5% and, as of Saturday, Illinois had returned to so-called “tier 1” mitigation strategies. The state lifted the ban on in-person dining and exercise classes and now allows for groups of up to 25 to meet together provided they observe social distancing.

In a rational world they would all be terminated immediatley.
Do the Reagan thing on the Air Traffic Controllers.
You’re fired.
No work ... no pay. Easy peezy ...
The positivity rate has NOTHING to do with school children.
Chicago’s teacher’s union leader pool side in a Caribbean resort loves that the government schools are closed in cold Chicago.. Pictures, too.
But complain bitterly if no one is at the grocery store when they want to stock up on bon bons.
It’s hard hangin’ at home, doing ZoomTeach.
And you lose your pension?
There’s no political will in Chicago. So Teachers Union can do whatever they want.
Yup. These people actually think they’re irreplaceable.
Three guesses why Secpn City Cop is gone...
And if the police union did this it would considered an illegal job action.
If they had a contract it would declared void.
But the CTU can do anything it wants.
Be interesting to see if BiteMe/Deep state agrees.
One year ago today:
After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown.
After the Chinese city of Wuhan halted outbound flights, trains, buses and ferries in an effort to stop the spread of a deadly new virus, 12 other cities in the province followed suit, bringing more than 36 million people under lockdown. Health officials in Chicago said a woman in her 60s had become the second U.S. patient diagnosed with the new virus; she’d returned from China in mid-January.

and revoke their pensions
Second City Cop...
Sacred, essential, frontline teachers. They love your children more than you do. Give them money, and don’t make them work, because they’re better than you.
IMO, no show for work = no job or paycheck.
Fire them all.
not surprising
teachers are now way majority gynocentric female both in the classroom and administrative positions
... but will still get paid, probably with my tax dollars.

It’s worse in California. The teacher union refuses to let any union members go back even if they are all vaccinated. They want the kids vaccinated too. Insane.
Citizens of Chicago DESERVE this predicament. They have empowered democrat fiefdoms through their votes. One shouldn’t be surprised when a dung beetle goes for the turds.
