Just give it to them and bankrupt the idiots who voted for this

[Sarah Barracuda]

abortions LOL no one is hitting that

Teachers unions are among the most subversive, nation killing orgs in the country.

[rktman]

They probably will.

[Nervous Tick]

All teachers’ unions everywhere must be utterly destroyed by any necessary means. Come to think of it that applies to ALL government employment unions at every level of government. Utterly destroyed, and the political ground salted beneath them.

[PGR88]

Its just outright extortion at this point. Feed our bloated, radical, dysfunctional, corrupt political-crony bureaucracy - OR ELSE.

[JesusIsLord]

Let's see: $50B divided by $2K/immigrant ..... means that Chicago schools will need 25,000,000 illegal aliens kicking in $2K apiece to cover union demands. OTOH - any deficit can be covered by Chicago/Illinois/US taxpayers. Johnson/Pritzker/Joe love to write checks for their constituents, I'm sure.

Calling Governor Abbott >>>> let's ramp up those illegal alien flights to Chicago.

LOL!

And, yet, Illinois continues to vote Blue.

Teacher pay should be based on the quality of their teaching measured by testing their students.

That is the LAST thing they would want as their teaching has been almost a complete failure in Reading, Writing and Arithmetic. Many graduating high school seniors cannot read their diplomas. Those “graduates” are perfectly prepared for failure in life.

[Revel]

just fire them all. The kids would be better off.

[volare737]

Chicago public schools spend $18,000 per student. What an incredible waste of money!

[Leep]

Teach your children well....

Give everyone low doses of LSD...no one will learn anything but no one will care.

[SpaceBar]

It’s like being extorted by the same pathogen that is killing you.

[2001convSVT]

Why only $50B? They should demand a full trillion dollars for all the troubles they have!

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Oh boy! And the Communists of America, disguised as the DNC, is coming to town!

[KingofZion]

Don’t forget they are also demanding a ceasefire in Gaza!

[jimwatx]

Get rid of all public employee unions. Whatever Chicago spends per pupil give it instead to the parents in the form of a voucher they can use to educate their kids anywhere they see fit. I’m betting a good % of the teachers in the Chicago schools are pretty worthless anyway.

[jimwatx]

We spend $28k per student here and still the majority in public schools test out way below their grade levels. Some years ago they gave teachers a 40% raise with teachers promising that would make a difference because they could then retain and attract quality teachers. It made zero difference the test scores continued downward.

[ealgeone]

ILL is already bankrupt.

[DeplorablePaul]

Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ sends her kid to private school.
