CTU Priorities
- The Chicago Teachers Union failed to participate in a major study aimed at protecting students from sexual violence, according to the study and its authors.
Consultant Maggie Hickey, a former federal prosecutor hired last year to help Chicago Public Schools revamp its Office of Student Protections and Title IX, wrote in a Sept. 26 report that she tried repeatedly to seek the input of CTU President Jesse Sharkey but received no cooperation.
“The Chicago Teachers Union President is the only person we contacted who failed to respond to our inquiries. We made multiple attempts to contact him by phone, by email, and through his assistant and office, during both our preliminary and follow-up evaluations,” Hickey wrote in a footnote to her 134-page report.
The union's concern isn't the safety of children - it's using the children as a bargaining chip to extract more money.

You're exactly right
The CTU are academic freaks out for a quick buck.
If they had chops, they would not be in teaching.
These people are the rejects from society.
Pay attention, see. Listen to me, see. I grade your
tests, see.
I think you’re wrong SCC. It’s not that they’re failing to protect the students, it’s just that they pretty much told good ‘ol Maggie to go fuck herself!! It’s a “study!”
In this world of full employment (lowest unemployment in
50 years: i.e. December 1969), only fools would turn down
16%. Finance is not their strong point. That's why they work
as teachers. When the economy slows/turns, that 16% is
gonna look mighty good. Too bad it will be off the table by then.
Then the SSU (Sad Sacks Union) will settle for table scraps.
You can't fix stupid
Actually Sharkey is a socialist at best and a commie at worst.
That being said he's arguing for more pay and benefits for his members and smaller classroom sizes.
FOP argues for more pay/benefits for cops and more cops on the street.
Unions are there to represent their members.
That being said he should have responded to the former prosecutor's request.
He just looks like a greedy socialist twit with a political agenda. Which he is.
Put a beggar on horseback and he'll ride to the gates of Hell
That 16% is right outta the 1970s.
History/Economics not their strong suit.
The GM strike. Think they will be offered 16%?
No Fucking Way. Just about all the discount brokers
cut their fees to ZERO this past week. Layoffs to follow.
You would think educators would read the newspapers.
Major car manufacturers moving more production to Mexico
(including the foreign brands). Woefully ignorant of global economy.
"The union's concern isn't the safety of children - it's using the children as a bargaining chip to extract more money."
......................................................
BINGO!
The CTU uses children like the demorats use a body count.
Meh. I’m not so sure about the mo’ money aspect, SCC. Word around the campfire is they want a much lower teacher to student ratio, more teachers aids, more security and nurses that are in the same school all day, everyday. Right now their situation is 1:30+. After my separation my ex and my kids live, well, elsewhere. Kids school is 1:15. At CPS you have these asshat “parents” that are “raising” these no-discipline kids to hate and disrespect ALL authority, and the schools are a sh!t show. City hall tossed a cynical 16% pay bump at them to see if they’d bite for the cash over the demands (which would cost a hell of a lot more), kinda like our pimped out union membership would. They didn't go for it, and I respect that. Our union sold out new hires and retirees for just a sniff of retro most gambled away at the casino like some ghetto lottery degenerates. Maybe if they get what they want (better work conditions), it might lead the way and our union members will grow some balls and make real demands for ourselves. Ja! Who am I kidding. Pipe-dreams go down the drain in this dump.
Second City Teachers
Anyone forget the “FUCK DA POLEECEEE!” scream from one of their guest speakers at a rally downtown? Anyone forget the screeches and cheers that ensued? I haven’t. My kids go to private school.
Fuck those no result, do nothing, greedy CPS “teachers.” Fuck. Em.
Gee, the 30-yr Treasury bond yielded 2.01% this past Friday.
What part of 14% do they not understand?
You would be hard pressed to even find a shaky junk bond
paying 16%.
These teachers are going to wind up getting owned.
The CTU is a horrible union and as selfish as can be. The citizens are sick of them holding everyone hostage until they get their way. Their terrible lying President Sharky says it’s not about the money it’s about the kids. As though we’re all dumb. This story proves that lie. How insulting and ungrateful to turn down that huge raise. The public does not support the CTU anymore. We’re tired of their games.
Let’s be honest, these teachers give 2 shits about the kids! Sharky gives even less then 2 shits. His job is to line his pockets and the teachers pockets. If you calculated the exact hours worked vs. Police it would make you sick. Earning 70-100k for 9 months of work. How about the bill Governor pritzker signed, waiving minimal requirements to be a public school instructor. Let us and the public remember their contribution to their pension vs. police. All while they protest with their representatives shouting “fuck the police”. CTU endorses a curriculum of anti-police propaganda. Not to mention that they do not adhere to the residency requirements. FOIA the records and fact check these comments. CTU = Leftist socialism
If the greedy teachers strike hopefully Lightfoot orders them back to work or fire anyone who doesn’t. First responders have continued working for over two years without a contract.
- “Why don’t we begin with a question… What is a sex crime?”.
- “Not gettin’ any!!”.
Name the movie and I’ll hold your slip for 3 hours on the end.
CTU said they found 2 emails in the spam folder, WGN reported.
The Mafia wish they had the pull the teachers have in Chicago, aint that right, Big Tony?
CTU=Communist Teachers Union. The marxists helping to destroy our society by brainwashing your children and not educating them. If you don't spend many hours re-educating them to American Values, don't be surprised once they get into the university and get thoroughly brainwashed. Funny, isn't it? The Hong Kong protestors wave the United States Flag. Our protestors wave a communist flag. Don't you find that just a little bit odd?
Perhaps Hickey needs to start making legal threats against Sharkey. Sharkey is nothing but a complete asshole who uses strike threats to make gains....CTU doesn't give two fucks about the students, if they did CPS wouldn't have one of the worst systems in the country but lets give them more money the City claims they don't have.
FYI, Maggie Hickey (the consultant named in this article) is the same person who was appointed as the independent monitor to oversee implementation of the consent decree for the Chicago Police Department.
I wish we could use the public’s safety as a bargaining chip to get a 16% salary increase and summers off. That would be super awesome. You know what else would be super awesome? Not getting fucked in the ass all year with canceled days off, tax hikes, mandatory city residency requirement and now swiping bullshit. Fuck this city. If we could protest we’d have our contract in 10 hours.
Proof positive it isn’t “for the kids”
As I have said before, if the public knew how many teachers, aides and ancillary employees were in the court system for active addictions, they would be shocked. And not just teachers, some of those “Ph.D candidates” who work in the CTU administration office drink and use too. And they are SO damn smart and intelligent they don’t even show up for their VOS court dates. Too busy I guess. Warrant issued. Next case...
How many functional illiterates get a high school diploma from CPS every year ? nothing unusual in this country's public schools, yet free college is touted as a necessity. if your kid went through the CPS system and tries to get into a better college you can be just about certain they will need remedial ED before they can do college level work (unless they got into one of the selective enrollment HS ) on the other hand they will know all about social justice , climate change having been programed what to think not how to think, don't remember what labor leader said it but to the effect, " teachers unions don't care anymore about education than the steelworkers union care about metallurgy.
Fuck the CTU they’re communist assholes
Its a shame. The school's mission was once to educate children. Nowadays, its free lunches, days off to protest climate something and as a bonus hands on one-on-one sex education with staff.
Don't forget it was the teachers union that brought us the Laquan McDonald Primer. This anti police manifesto sums up the attitudes of the teachers union. And the teachers union somehow made it a mandatory instruction block. If you get a chance its worth reading to see what teacher's dues fund and how schools are used to indoctrinate students into the Marxist ways of internal civil revolutions.
If the greedy teachers strike hopefully Lightfoot orders them back to work or fire anyone who doesn’t. First responders have continued working for over two years without a contract.

Not true. The contract remains in force until the new contract is mandated to begin. And, if Groot gets her way, the protections and rights afforded us by the old contract will be a distant memory.
"Its for the kids!"
We Are All Replaceable
Maggie Hickey is our consent decree monitor.
CTU tells her to pound sand, so she comes over here to kick the half dead CPD dog?
https://chicago.suntimes.com/2019/3/1/18313889/former-federal-prosecutor-picked-to-oversee-chicago-police-consent-decree
It's all about the children. The teachers are the new Catholic Priests of old. Soon home owners will be on the hook for their misdeeds. Where is the outrage!
...Chicago Teachers Union...Jesse Sharkey....say what..his nephew, say Jess...thought you use to say that you...raised this kid. Nothing but connections here can't watch the family,...how can you watch the system. Roger Sharkey murderer IDOC # R24673...punk wanna be gang banger, doing time for drive-bye days...shot a woman, she had kids....but not to worry, he is being taken care of ...sort of...watch this creep land a union job upon release.

The Unions only concern is not to pay over 2% into their pension and letting the tax payers keep fitting the rest of the bill for them.

10/06/2019 01:22:00 AM
Are you naming your home videos now?
Ah, yes, the old the computer ate my homework defense.
All of us know CPS teachers. I do and I wouldn’t let them teach my dog. They openly brag about how they run things and will destroy the Mayor. They don’t care for kids and many are sick twisted pedos, which have been given the freedom to pray on these children with no fear of the authorities. Read the allegations that Schuler documented and it’s disgusting. That is where there is a code of silence. All of these teachers should be wearing body cameras.
That F Da Police was stupid. The CTU apologized for it. CTU members are wives and husbands of coppers, and the vast majority of the members didn’t support that bullshit. That 16 % over 5 years isnt gonna match inflation if it’s eaten up by healthcare costs. The CPS wants to take away teacher prep time so the teachers can be used as subs. The CPS hopes that having to sub for other teachers makes teachers pissed off so they won’t use sick days they can’t bank. Fuck Lightfoort. Park District, SEIU,and CTU all are set to go out on same day. All they need is CTA sick out. The teachers should get as much money as they can as they are forced to live in Shitcago. What’s wrong with getting what you can? Wish coppers could strike, too, so the city wouldn’t keep jacking them around,
To address a few points made by pinheads in the comments, so far:
1. The "teachers" union, aka ctu, can Strike. The FOP cannot Strike. Thus, "protesting" for the ctu = Strike Picketing. "Protesting" for FOP = wandering in circles, somewhere, for some period of time. Big difference.
2. IF the ctu is truly rejecting city "offer" for the primary reasons stated most wordly in the easy to spot comment on this above, THEN the ctu would accept NO raise and an INCREASE to EQUAL percentage contributions to their fucking pensions as every other union, in exchange for these stated, in the comment, improvements, most costly, to benefit the children. AND publicly DECLARE this!!! If the teachers want to be respected, honored and appreciated, be WORTHY. EARN THIS. Will they???? (Yeah. I'm a funny guy. You kill me last, okay?)
3. The "Full Employment" economy point does not apply here. Union with Contract = doesn't give a fuck. Union, with Contract and democrat saturated leadership, supported by democrat saturated membership = does not have to give a fuck. Union, with Contract, democrat saturated and relied upon to hustle the democrat annointed candidates to reelection = does not give a fuckload of fucks. Catch up, sparky. It is ALL about the politics.
4. Taking typical retarded cheapshots at teachers, even ctu teachers, is assisine, as in: from the asses of nine assholes into the asses of nine assholes. Teaching children is, when not perverted by politics, as challenging as parenting. As is found in every union, the greater the union's leaderships are ASSHOLES, the more of it's membership will be ASSHOLES. FOP is a union. Do the math. PLUS, being a political union, ctu is packed full of ASSHOLES. Capeesh?
5. Were the NOT ASSHOLES members of the ctu to outnumber the ASSHOLES, the ctu leadership would not consist of ASSHOLES. Again, Capeesh?
Taxpayers, pony up.
Or move to another county, at least.
The crooks here are as durable as cockroaches, and more plentiful.
Capeesh?
They will never get smaller class sizes when your a sanctuary city
Chicago Terrorist Union (CTU), is holding children hostage for money.
The teachers union would not put up with any shit mandated by the city. Fuck with their pension or benefits and they will strike in a split second. Their union has balls. Ours has bb’s.
Maybe they were all to busy in Venezuela to do it.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
When I went to school there was 35 students in each classroom. WTF.
I live right next store to a so-called teacher, this person is loud and boisterous and all about the commie platform, this person could really give a shit about teaching kids fact's, it's all about making professor and fucking the tax payers.

Confucius Say: Never trust a man that resembles Andy Dick and speaks with a lisp...
Being a teacher is the greatest part time job (with full time pay and benefits) ever created.
When they do go on strike I can’t stand these douche bags that go on Facebook and say we support you 100% and give them treats on the picket line. Get your commie asses back into school assholes. I don’t support you, nor will I ever support you.

One of our South Side Alderwomen, was recently at a CTU meeting, which is on You Tube, dropping the F-Bomb. Extremely inappropriate to all of our Students. If they care so much about the Children, why don't they stop acting like such.Would not want my child to watch that Video. Need to stop with the fowl language. When did talking, without swearing, go out of style. Sad, very sad. Roll Model, I don't think so.
Maggie Hickey is a total piece of garbage machine hack from a connected dummycrat family. While I believe the CTU deserves nothing as they have totally and completely failed as the product they put out is increasingly garbage. I teach college and a lot of our students come from CPS and they are mostly functionally illiterate and are gang banger, punk, disrespectful idiots. But Maggie Hickey is a friend of loris and the machine. She will screw the CPD with the consent decree. When she was state inspector general she refused to investigate Frank capuzi and Patricia van pelt for corruption because these two were protected by the dummycrats such as madigan, Rahm and John Cullerton. She only wrote the report to help racist, hypocrite, fake reformer Lori. And Lori is also too stupid to realize that her own staff is tight with CTU leadership and undermining her from within. She was is and always has been too lazy to work a real job.
What most people don't know is that the CTU boss lives with his wife and kids in a $1.5 million Rogers Park estate — 4 bedrooms complete with a second-floor patio, a third-floor "master retreat," a sunroom and a Tesla, (a non-union automaker) parked in the garage that stretches across three lots a short walk from Lake Michigan.
And the last time CPS went on strike for betterment of their students-what results benefited the city? We’re now saddled with an inept generation of slugs terrorizing our CTA system, scaring away our downtown tourists and overcrowding our hospitals with their constant shootings. Yes-what a Great investment we have with these students...

I am confused about the three month break for teachers? School ends in the third week of June. Most, if not all teachers return to their class room the last week of August (without pay) to prepare for the new school year.That equals 8 weeks or two months. You forgot to mention that teachers grade homework and papers without pay at home. Many teachers are at work one hour before class starts. Planning time for teachers were taken away by the city. Most teachers put in a 10 hour work day, every day. I agree the contract demands are unrealistic and it is too easy for the union to strike.
Mom was a CTU teacher for 37 years and got to where she hated the union. It started with Jackie Vaughan ("Jackie Vaughan has a new goddamn hat!" meant that they were going on strike), and Jackie was good compared to this lot.
lmao,, rahmmy's big tax raises in 2015 , were to help stabilize pensions .instead pension deficits grew another $$7 Billion in 4 years ...lori "the clown" mayor needs to start coming up with $1 Billion $$$ more each year for pensions , starting in 2021. How is that spelled...... BANKRUPTCY ….FOP needs to get off their asses quickly, with a new contract
Trib has the great story,, Detroit here we are
Formal federal prosecutor, pffft.
[Scratches balls and expels some flatulence]
Like the formal federal prosecutor/current Mayor of Chicago?
1236 am hit it on the head. It’s not just about the money, but that’s apparently too complex for most coppers to understand. You voted for the last contract to get raises while getting screwed. New guys and new guys who aren’t even on the job lost money they will never recover. Retirees now pay for healthcare that was free and guess what, the City wants more than a 100% increase this time around. We lost in tuition reimbursement. We lost in healthcare with copays and a two-tiered hospital system. Ultimately, you will have given back any raise you got in that last contract. Wake the fuck up!
I guess you same people would take 16% if we lost sworn affidavits and some of the other disciplinary protections we have because it’s apparently all about the money. You need to realize this, that is exactly what the City is trying to get back in the next contract. Any raise is meaningless when you don’t have a job because you gave up rights that protect you
It’s like none of you armchair quarterbacks have ever set foot in a public school. Most of these teachers put up with shit you’d all have a meltdown about. One of the issues 1236 left out is that CPS wants to save money by taking prep time away from the teachers so that they can be used to shuttle in and out of an absent teacher’s classroom instead of paying a substitute. Loss of the prep time means doing work at home. How many coppers would do a lick of work at home for free?
We all bitch when people who don’t do our job complain about us or tell us how to do our jobs. Now, all of you hypocrites are doing the same to the teachers. If you’ve never stood in their shoes STFU!
The teachers union has burned out any public support with their demands. That being said.. I’d rather work 011 without a vest and a slingshot than be a Chicago public school teacher.

Do you actually believe what you read in the newspapers is true? Not without spin? Please tell me you’re not that gullible?
Give them a choice 16% and no smaller classes or 8% and smaller classes. We ALL know which deal they will take.
Why are coppers being so hard on the teachers?
So what they turned down 16%, we agreed to 10%, so who really looks the fool?
I don't blame them for playing hardball. Instead of talking crap about them, we need to join them, support them, don't let the city divide and concur. We bitch about the city screwing us ever day, now that they are getting screwed by the teachers, we should be happy!!!
But don't you know, it's for the children?
Bunch of phonies.
The left is in control of our education system and the schools are being used as indoctrination centers with the teacher, for the most part, being useful idiots.

You can protest hit the medical!
Teachers do care about the students just as much we care about the citizens.
I read somewhere that CPS is only now going to spend $7 million on the program to address the predatory behavior.
But it’s not tied to their Greedy Contract demand proposals:
$2.5 Million for new nurses... 30 nurses that is.
$3.5 Million for new case managers, is that for 40 of them?
$3.5 Million for new social workers, how many that be?
It’s for The Kids.
And GrootFoot says schools will remain open during any Strike. Not for learnings reading, writing, arithmetic but so The Kids have somewhere to go and eat. I imagine the yella’buses will still be running too.
It’s not like many households would be empty of adult supervision being that hardly anyone’s working these days.
But having The Kids come to a school and not read-write-arithmetic anything... is pretty much what they do anyway during a school year.
Let them, (the 94% in favor) sstrike and fire the lazy lot.
Clear out all the corrupt school management too.
You wonder why Paul Vallas was ousted from CPS...he wanted to clean house and have accountability for the spending and the wasting of money, particularly the appointed School Board. Shortshanks didn’t want that and neither did Rahm, and looking at the past mayoral election neither did the Taxpayers and the Teachers.
Although I have deep respect for teachers in general, way too many are leftists, socialists who spend too much time indoctrinating instead of educating . I spent a year as a sub in CPS and was shocked at what I saw and heard. The leadership of the union seems to be socialist and, yes, pay and benefits and increasing their membership is their primary concern ( as it should be), with little concern about children as a whole. The fact that the union would not cooperate with a plan to stop the endangerment of of children from sexual predators is shameful and telling. Many times I have heard teachers blame the poor performance on the children themselves instead of the educational environment in the schools. A cop out on their part. Too bad the mayor cannot fire all strikers and replace them. They have a great deal with high pay, short work year and pay little or nothing into their health care and pension. But, bankruptcy of the CPS will be a cure for their greed.
Can other employees from a separate union (nurses,doctors ect) be added to the teachers contract. Wouldn't that be similar to police asking for more fire personnel to assist in our jobs?
Hey my wife is a teacher. She makes what I make in 9 months! She pays 7-8 less in pension contributions too! Stop pointing this stuff out!
I am retired cpd and married to a cps school teacher. All the comments I’m reading about what teachers are/should be/should do remind me off the advice given to the police department about what the police should do that is given by non law enforcement. Teachers know about as much about policework as police know about teaching. All you coppers should take a page out of their book and show some solidarity. Until then you are of no consequence to the mayor or the city . I know there is a no strike clause in the cpd contract. Refuse any overtime offered. Send the city a message. ( this will never happen because 95 percent of copper are too short sighted and are not willing to make any personal sacrifices). Gotta make those payments on their big shot jeeps
Why doesn't the mayor tell CTU to go pound sand? Answer: Federal funds! All the local pols count on those for their slush funds! The longer the kids are out of school, the less money the city gets from the feds! Otherwise, I would love to see the teachers cool their heels on the picket line, earning nothing! That would cut into their Acapulco Christmas vacations!

Good luck, teachers.
My gut feeling is that Sharkey is going to eventually run for Mayor...perhaps as soon as the next election to put the final kick the in the little Munchkins eyes. Perhaps, that could be why he is playing hard ball with these negotiations to make the Mayor look like she has no idea how to deal with people, contracts and unions..We will see but remember I said it first. After all, didn't Karen Lewis almost run???
Police unions need to follow the teacher’s bargaining tactics.
I used to have respect for the CTU. I knew many of the teachers and thought the respect was mutual Not any more. I can't wait for the day when I can respond to a call at the school where they're BEGGING for police assistance. I'll have the last laugh for sure.
😕 It is not about the money! It is about 45 kindergarteners in a classroom. It is about the fact that teachers who have been teaching for 15 years won't get a penny until they reach 30 years.(So this 16% mean 0 to them) Yes...check that out. It is about the students who have died in the schools because there are no full time nurses....just know...there are A LOT of teachers who disagree with what CTU stands for...yes they are needed to protect jobs but many do not agree with CTUs involvement in politics.
There is a reason why I stopped getting StreetWise, Sun Times, and Tribune. Those rags are mouthpieces for the machine.
CTU gives a flying fuck at a fast rolling donut because too many teachers,
aides, janitors, administrators, hall monitors andlunchroom persons are
having sexual contact with the students.

10/06/2019 01:12:00 AM
I am confused ... return to their class room the last week of August (without pay). - That is because they demanded in their last contract to not be paid over the course of a year and only during their school year compacting their pay only during school year!!
Now they claim they are broke the months school is out!
You forgot to mention that teachers grade homework and papers without pay at home. - That's why they were paid for the months they did not work to amend for that.
Planning time for teachers were taken away by the city. - NO it was taken away by their demands in last contract because the lack basic financial skills also probably one of the reasons why male scores are so low in Chicago!
You’re not confused, you're deliberately miss characterizing what occurred most likely cause you're married to a teacher.

Well OK sport lets play teachers get 2+plus weeks at Christmas,extra days for thanksgiving, spring break week, every holiday,teachers institute days and 1/2 days more like 4 months off minimum! Grading papers hah yea OK! Lori should do what President Reagan did with air traffic controllers, fire all of them and start over this would save taxpayers billions, and as a bonus maybe we could get new teachers that teach and not bullshit. Oh and then they could contribute at least 9% to pensions like police and fire do,and the savings to taxpayers on real estate tax bills would be monumental, and the sjw teachers could them teach where most of them live in the suburbs violating the ordinance to live in Chicago! that would be "winning," #Firethemall

That F Da Police was stupid. The CTU apologized for it. CTU members are wives and husbands of coppers, and the vast majority of the members didn’t support that bullshit. That 16 % over 5 years isnt gonna match inflation if it’s eaten up by healthcare costs.
Did they though? I think not. Fuck them.

What most people don't know is that the CTU boss lives with his wife and kids in a $1.5 million Rogers Park estate — 4 bedrooms complete with a second-floor patio, a third-floor "master retreat," a sunroom and a Tesla, (a non-union automaker) parked in the garage that stretches across three lots a short walk from Lake Michigan.

I heard this too. Also heard a rumor that his kids go to private school and he makes over $300,000 a year salary? Anyone confirm?
I am confused about the three month break for teachers? School ends in the third week of June. Most, if not all teachers return to their class room the last week of August (without pay) to prepare for the new school year.That equals 8 weeks or two months. You forgot to mention that teachers grade homework and papers without pay at home. Many teachers are at work one hour before class starts. Planning time for teachers were taken away by the city. Most teachers put in a 10 hour work day, every day. I agree the contract demands are unrealistic and it is too easy for the union to strike.

***Your not only confused your just about delusional! Teachers Pay 2% into their pension?? No need to buy city vehicle stickers??? No residency???? Their 16% raise would put them at almost $100,000 a yr (Highest in the country) for only 9 months of work? Holidays off? Weekends off?? Forgot to mention a lot of teachers also had aides...who actually grade papers....so boo hoo, wake up clueless!!

Look at the list of top pensions in IL all in education disgusting those $500,000+ pensions is bankrupting these pension funds unreal. Should have been a teacher they always give in to teachers its for the children!
When I went to school there was 35 students in each classroom. WTF.
10/06/2019 08:58:00 AM
When you went to school:
Students were still students.
Parents were still parents.
Even democrats were still practical concerning protecting thekr flows of graft to their hog troughs.
Then Richard J. croaked.
And the shitstorm began.
One feckless dumbass after another, with mumbles being most feckless.
The added shitstain of the obamanation turned the shitstorm into a shitfest non stop.
Until MAGA.
We here are merely at the bottom of the shitpiled up.
It will take awhile for MAGA to reach halfway down to our depth.
We gotta at least try to start digging up.
We have yet to consider this as a serious option.
Yep.
Crook county is in our bloodlines.
😕 It is not about the money! It is about 45 kindergarteners in a classroom. It is about the fact that teachers who have been teaching for 15 years won't get a penny until they reach 30 years.(So this 16% mean 0 to them) Yes...check that out. It is about the students who have died in the schools because there are no full time nurses....just know...there are A LOT of teachers who disagree with what CTU stands for...yes they are needed to protect jobs but many do not agree with CTUs involvement in politics.
10/06/2019 04:23:00 PM
All BS. Students that died in the schools because no full time nurses. Never heard of that happening and if it did it would be all over the papers. Tired of hearing about all the teachers who don’t support the CTU. you know all the policeman’s spouses. Well 94%, that’s right 94% voted to strike
You guys are nuts, if teachers didn't agree with the liberal crap their union spews then they would stop them. The teachers turned their backs on cops, I say fuck them go get them groot. I could care less for any teacher & their contract. My relative was a teacher & was ordered to change grades of the dumb kids who never showed up & failed everything, so it's not about the kids

If the greedy teachers strike hopefully Lightfoot orders them back to work or fire anyone who doesn’t. First responders have continued working for over two years without a contract.
10/06/2019 01:18:00 AM
CPD officers have to continue to work because they can’t strike. You must be new because 2 years is about average for contract negotiations. Nothing new there. That’s why retro is important
10/06/2019 05:48:00 PM
No shit dumbass! I can guarantee I have more time than you. Do you know who Bill Nolan is? What did I say that lead you to think I didn’t know the police can’t strike? Everyone knows that. I was pointing out that they need to come to work like the rest of us. Especially since they were offered very generous raises. The last time we got a 16% raise was around 1998.
Teachers should go for lifting residency now.
Then I might like them again.
Everyone bloviating about how easy teachers have it should jump right in - we're short lots of teachers in Illinois - in every district in the state. So much so that they are passing bills trying to fix it. Go get your share of the cushy part-time jobs at full-time pay there. Everybody else must be too dumb to take them.
lmao, rahmmy's big tax raises in 2015 , were to help stabilize pensions .instead pension deficits grew another $$7 Billion in 4 years ...lori "the clown" mayor needs to start coming up with $1 Billion $$$ more each year for pensions , starting in 2021. How is that spelled...... BANKRUPTCY ….FOP needs to get off their asses quickly, with a new contract
Let’s not forget that FOP went down to Springfield with Rahm to lobby legislators to extend the amortization of funding our pension to 90% from 25 years to 40 years. They also back loaded the the payments to give Rahm more budgetary wiggle room, with the larger payments kicking in 2020, when Rahm was out of office or into his third term. Why did the FOP make a deal with the devil? Why did the FOP help Rahm when the pension problem was solved by the previous legislation? Read the Tribune article folks, it spells it all out in plain English. The FOP is not our friend and can’t be trusted. But when they betrayed us, they also fucked themselves in the process because they are annuitants in the pension fund as well. What imbeciles!
The head of the CTU is admitted communist.
As I have said before, if the public knew how many teachers, aides and ancillary employees were in the court system for active addictions, they would be shocked. And not just teachers, some of those “Ph.D candidates” who work in the CTU administration office drink and use too. And they are SO damn smart and intelligent they don’t even show up for their VOS court dates. Too busy I guess. Warrant issued. Next case...
I know a CPS teacher who just retired, has a helluva heroin addiction, was a regular user while teaching. She travels the World now to drug -friendly destinations. She said all those lunches we pay for, the fruit ends in the trash can. She could not believe the wasted food.
Teachers want more helpers, more nurses, more shrinks.....but they keep voting Dem? Don't they realize that Dem Officials support bringing the unwashed masses into our schools, complete with diseases, behavior issues, cultural problems? Socialists always want to hire more help instead of correcting the problem (parents). They shit on the Church, then wonder why the kids are unholy terrors. They embrace degenerate lifestyle, yet confused as to why so many mental issues. They adore single parents, yet baffled by undisciplined kids. They encourage sex changes in children, yet alarmed at tranny suicides.
The teachers will do pretty good its because of something called "CLOUT" they have it , at the city level state and nationally, NEA has a very effective lobbying arm when a pol gets a call from them the pol listens or suffers, teachers have the optics "its for the children" Cops on the other hand have much less "clout" and deal with confrontational chaos at the worst , nobody is happy to have to deal with the police as a victim and certainly not as an offender,,,, If you want to get an insight to truly dedicated teachers talk to teachers in the parochial schools
Sharkey is at least a millionaire thanks to marrying into the Carnival cruise family. He doesnt have any real skin in the game, hes just protesting.
Hey 1232 let’s be clear here. It was the Dean Angelo, Ray Casciano, Tom McDonogh, and Jay Ryan FOP administration that made the deal with the devil.
Casciano and Ryan are both running for President in the next FOP election. There’s talk McDonogh might too. Remember that at election time boys and girls.
AND THERE IT IS ............The scumbag's have the licences to print money, it's not about education . It's all about the free babysitting service and free meals . And when that is about to be put on hold , of course ya'all say give'em what they want .

Delusional? Most teachers have to live in the city. Weekends off is a normal benefit for a majority of occupations. I challenge you to show aides that grade papers and develop lesson plans.I know several teachers that are close friends. They have residency requirements, buy city stickers, AND they are required to develop weekly lesson plans on their own time. They have the same problem that police face. Very liberal administrators demanding new lessons every week. If students are failing or even missing work, teachers must make contact with a parent on their own time. I learned a majority of teachers do not agree with the CTU and their liberal policies, just like the police and their clueless command staff.
"...Roll Model. I don't think so..."
You can only be a roll model if you are really fat.
“The Unions only concern is not to pay over 2% into their pension and letting the tax payers keep fitting the rest of the bill for them.”-10/06/2019 07:09:00 AM
Last CTU contract (2015-16) raised the pension contributions to 9% only for new hires, added some healthcare costs too.
There are 35,000 CPS employees covered and include 21,000 that are teachers, don’t know how many new hires are paying the 9% and which pension the aides, nurses, admin pay into. Must be small or Rahm wouldn’t have agreed. It’s also about votes.
If Larry LightLoafer was serious about education and it’s being fundamental civil right, then CPS shouldn’t be allowed to close their doors.
Plenty of out of work eggheads would gladly take $15 hr to teach rather than brewing coffee or bagging dollar store potpourri from 5am -11am without benefits.
And the way some institutions of higher education dole out teaching certifications is troubling whereas some really demand putting in the full effort, resulting in some new teachers coming out with a decent frame of mind to actually try to teach the 3-R’s.
But I’ll agreed, it’s more about money than the kids.
Shame on the 94% that voted to close the schools until “demands” are met.
I keep hearing the old tired refrain that the teachers spend a lot of time , their own time, grading papers . I also read here that the teachers come in early a week before school starts without pay and they come in early every day to prepare for the classroom. Well, that is true, but for a very small portion of teachers. They are on yearly salary and are not hourly, but they do get paid extra for every little thing they do. I was a teacher for a bit and have teachers in my family. If spending all of this time grading papers and doing lesson plans was really true and accurate, the union would make an issue of it and demand more money. Let the CPS actually research this issue and show it for what it is, falsehoods.Then some liar says kids are dieing in the schools because there are no nurses there. That is the biggest lie of all. Yes, kids get sick and need to be sent home and sometimes they cannot locate a parent to come and get them, so the school is stuck with them. There is no need for a nurse and a counselor in every school. Have one of each for a school district and let them make the rounds. Just an excuse to add more people to the union. Lets have facts and not rhetoric
LL. Want to clear out half the teachers
Require proof of residency and proof they can all pass the teachers certification test in 2019 .
Most are overpaid babysitters.
Include principals , vice principal and teachers assigned to administrative positions.

You should have plenty of help soon since they've removed the basic skill exam requirements to become a teacher in illinois.
CTU leader Sharkey's father-in-law is Richard Fain, the Republican financier who owns and operates Royal Caribbean Cruises.
The FOP is not our friend and can’t be trusted. But when they betrayed us, they also fucked themselves in the process because they are annuitants in the pension fund as well. What imbeciles!
10/07/2019 12:32:00 AM
Perhaps the FOP reps don't care because they were bought off by the city, and a pension would be peanuts in comparison to what they received for a deal beneficial to the city.
Interesting write up on the CTU president. Not doing too shabby for a socialist.

Pritzker family owns Royal Caribbean (unless they recently sold it).

The contract remains in force until the new contract is mandated to begin. And, if Groot gets her way, the protections and rights afforded us by the old contract will be a distant memory. If you let her have her way for some "important" retro, you are a fool.
A famous teachers union rep at the national level once said "I will be concerned with the needs of children once they start paying union dues."
Keep that in mind when they talk about doing it all for "the children".
Richard D. Fain
Executive Compensation
As Chairman & Chief Executive Officer at ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISES LTD, Richard D. Fain made $12,422,715 in total compensation. Of this total $1,100,000 was received as a salary, $3,500,200 was received as a bonus, $0 was received in stock options, $7,664,567 was awarded as stock and $157,948 came from other types of compensation. This information is according to proxy statements filed for the 2018 fiscal year.
CTU just told Lightfoot that they wanted affordable housing included in their contract negotiations. Can you believe that
