The Chicago Teachers Union voted to teach virtually rather than in the classroom, triggering a cancellation of classes Wednesday which the school district leadership warned would happen if the union vote passed.
Chicago Public Schools, the third-largest school district in the country, resumed in-person learning Monday in conditions union leaders described as unsafe as the Omicron virus variant sent Covid-19 cases soaring around the country.
The union held an emergency meeting Tuesday evening to hold the vote by its delegates (elected union leaders for individual schools) on virtual teaching and then poll its 25,000 members electronically. The vote was 73% in favor of the remote-work-only job action, the union said on Twitter.

Oh - so I have to comply with the federal mandates or lose my job but Chicago just rolls over.
I wonder if the UAW workers near me can just take a vote to not go to work because of covid?
So, so sad. So Chicago officially hates children and students more than even CA does. Amazing to see. Heartbreaking.
Mayor Lightfoot needs to go full Reagan against the teachers. Otherwise, she has effectively turned over governmental authority to the public unions.
and black children fall further and further behind, prisoners of bloated government educrat unions
Then they should have their pay cut. If they pull this where my daughter lives, she will take all her kids out and home school them
It's all about the $HITTY teacher's union and what they want?
This Country is in deep trouble and it's NOT reversible anytime soon.
CNN can’t tell singular from plural?
I’ve noticed this happening more and more.
Seriously, I know a lot of parents who with virtual schooling are effectively doing home schooling. Why not encourage more home schooling and charter schools. Obviously, the teachers union and the school districts don't want to provide quality in-person education.
P.S. Anyone remember when teachers unions lobbied that because teachers are so special that they should be allowed to jump the line waiting for the initial vaccination shots? I guess they got to cut in line in some places so they could teach virtually.
Are unions covered under the Vax mandate? I didn’t think they were.
The really HUGE news is that Chairman Xoe threw the unions under the school bus yesterday when he said that there was no reason why schools should not be open in-person.
Since the NEA/AFT controls the DNC Xoe has just made it clear that he is a one-termer.
It is part of the WEF Agenda. Tele-school, Tele-health, working remotely. I suspect we will see more of it as time goes on.
If they do not want to be there, then fire them. Replace them with substitutes. Hire new ones. (Replace fired teachers case by case basis).
This is just the way to separate the people. Ever see the movie “1984”? In the movie there was a big screen monitor in every persons’ room (yes it was just a room and not “home”) that ran 24/7 and watch you. This is coming to a place near you if things keep going the way they are.
Fire them all.
Move the kids to private schools.
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.
