Remember the bargaining update we issued asking the Board, “Do you believe that librarians are important to Chicago’s public schools?” And their response was, “We’ll have to get back to you on that.” That was May, Twitter family. MAY.
We have been bargaining for 10 months. We bargained all weekend. We take this process very seriously. We take student need very seriously.
After presenting our proposals at the start of the year, we didn’t receive responsive counterproposals in writing from the Board until we went on strike.
It shouldn’t take two days of being on strike to get students’ needs met—needs in a school district that serves 90 percent students of color, and students who live in neighborhoods besieged by poverty, violence and Great-Depression era levels of unemployment.
The mayor ran on an education platform—our education platform—to improve our schools and the quality of life for students, parents, educators and school communities. Everything she has done as of late has been anything but an improvement, and has only made the situation worse.
From lies about our salary, to her intransigence on makeup days, to cancelling classes Oct. 17 before delegates could convene, to chiding us about "urgency" when she has yet to come to the table, to painfully obvious photo ops, to today's letter. All bad.https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/10/11/20910276/fact-check-lightfoot-chicago-public-school-teachers-pay-strike-politifact …
She’s new. And maybe doesn’t know how this works. But we know how it works. And so does @GKMC18. And @chicagospedpac. And @ChiSLibrarians. And people in Englewood high school communities. And in 50 other school communities that no longer exist. CPS can’t be trusted.pic.twitter.com/N6rxASSZcU
It took a strike to get the district to agree to FOLLOW STATE LAW regarding Pre-K staffing ratios. CPS is under state oversight for special ed violations. That's just two reasons why we're out here. We can’t trust them to do right by students if we go back without a contract.
We won't wait another ten months to resolve the contract, only to have to strike again. The fact that it was even considered is insulting. As pops would say, “I was born AT night, not LAST night.”
We have a few thousand in Union Park right now if anyone is down to march. Sun coming out. It’s a lovely day. See you in the streets. #CTUSEIUstrike #putitinwriting #faircontractnowpic.twitter.com/ilJhaW7vpm
