Press conference to demand the mayor extend improved parental leave to ALL employees under her purview — including CPS employees.

“A parental leave policy makes just as much sense for school workers as it does for city workers,” said CTU President Stacy Davis Gates. “While the city’s workforce is majority male, our workforce is majority female — nearly 80%. Why would the mayor refuse workers in a majority female profession a fair and equitable parental leave policy — especially as our district continues to have a tough time recruiting and retaining educators? It would seem like Mayor Lightfoot — a self proclaimed gladiator for women’s rights — would jump at creating a better and more fair paid parental leave policy that would be a model for the rest of our nation,” said CTU President Stacy Davis Gates.
