The Chicago Teachers Union strike is on, 300,000 kids with no school

Friday, October 18, 2019 13:10

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

Chicago is broke. Heck, it’s way more than broke largely because of teacher/city employee pensions. Plus in Chicago teachers start at $60K/year and can make $100K. For working 180 days a year. In relatively low cost Chicago.

But the unions want yet more.

(From Wirepoints)

Regardless of how the strike ends, the massive costs inflicted on CPS will force Chicagoans’ tax bills to keep rising, the city’s population to keep shrinking and property values TO [will] continue to suffer. Neither side’s deal will help teachers or residents if the city and the school district move faster toward insolvency.

Labor political operative says Chicago, which is deeply in debt and on the edge of fiscal catastrophe, actually HAS the money to pay well paid Chicago teachers even more.

Funny that The Hill referred to Eric Blanc, a union activist simply as a “former teacher”. (Who isn’t even from Chicago. He’s from San Francisco.)

(From The Hill)

Blanc told Hill.TV on Thursday that the Chicago mayor is just playing “hardball.”
“The money’s there but it’s a question of political will and it’s a question of political power to see whether the educators can force the city to grant the money,” he said during an interview that aired on “Rising.”

What’s also funny is that Mayor Lightfoot would likely love to give the teachers union piles of new money. That would only help her. But that Lightfoot can’t reflects how bad things are in The Windy City.
