Chicago teachers union demands free abortions, cash for migrants and $145K salaries

The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is negotiating a new contract with the public schools system and is understood to be calling for an extra $50 billion to pay for wage hikes as well as other demands such as fully paid abortions for its members, new migrant services and facilities and a host of LGBT-related requirements and training in schools.
To put the figure into context, the total base tax receipts for the state of Illinois last year were $50.7 billion.
quote:
Union President Stacy Davis Gates’ audacious plan calls for members to bank at least 9% wage increases each year through fiscal year 2028.
The average salary of a teacher in Chicago Public Schools is $93,182, according to research by the Illinois Policy Institute, a conservative nonprofit think tank. Therefore, the average teacher’s pay will increase by half to $144,620 in the 2027-2028 school year, it says.
quote:
Gates’ plan also calls for teachers and counselors to be paid a stipend of $1,000 per student per semester when they are assigned a number of students above contractual limits and a retirement bonus of $2,500 for employees with more than 30 years of service.
quote:
The leaked demands also address "disparities" in health care with 100% coverage benefits for abortion care, 100% coverage benefits for fertility, including full coverage for storage of embryos and any other frozen storage needs.
But the union also wants more taxpayers' funds to go to migrants in its far-reaching plan – earmarking $2,000 to be given to each migrant to help with academics, transportation and mental health counseling.
The union also wants each of the 646 public schools to have a "newcomer liaison" for new students as well as migrant students and unused school facilities to be converted into housing accommodation for migrants.
quote:
There is also a whole host of other social justice provisions the union wants, including making sure workers and educators are trained annually on LGBTQ+ issues as a qualification in their job description.
The union also wants to mandate that every school in the district has at least one gender-neutral bathroom.
Additionally, it wants the board to adopt policies that would prohibit any member from being compelled to tell parents when a student rejects his or her sex.

Al Capone needs to come back as a zombie and take his town back.

I support giving them $1 million a year in salary and mandatory abortions for union members.

Theyre already overpaid and over compensated.

Nobody look up those state testing scores though… just give us the money…

It’s a race to the bottom between California and Illinois. Currently Illinois is winning that race. Property values drop vs California still holding strong

This I can get behind. I'll take common ground where I can find it.

No way their teachers make an average on 93k. That has to be including administration and central office types to inflate that average. I think LA average is like 53k

The teachers union there is incredibly strong.
Kids arent learning, but the teachers are living upper middle class lifestyles. Typical for Progressivism.

Trump needs to add to his 2024 agenda to arrest every leader of these vile teacher’s unions.

Absolutely out of control insanity.

We're trying to recall all of our school board, already chased off the super.
The school budget came in 9B over budget this year, just for Juneau schools.
Theyre having to close schools despite the fact that Alaska already costs over 22k per kid per year.

you lose dignity when you choose to join a "work club".

They can demand in one hand and shite in the other, see which one fills up first.

The mafia ran these cities so much better than our government could or has since them.

Teachers unions are what's wrong with this country

Unions are generally comprised of people afraid of competition and effort.
