No Money
But the teachers want to be at the front of the line:
Chicago Public Schools is so cash-strapped that its new interim CEO and board president are scrambling to find a way to send out back pay owed to teachers and staff that was negotiated in the Chicago Teachers Union contract, which was settled in March.
The CTU won 4% raises plus additional salary increases for experience and advanced degrees. Because the old contract expired last June, the raises cover a whole school year and will cost the district more than $100 million. Teachers and staff are expecting CPS to deliver that retroactive pay this summer.
The firefighters have been without a Contract for how long? Four years?
If we recall, CPD supervisors have a court ordered settlement for VRI overtime running back to the very beginning of that program AND a "me-too" raise that the City refuses to pay while the back pay accrues interest.
And the FLSA OT, too.
But since the teachers can hold the children hostage, have the ability to strike and own Conehead, they think they deserve to be up at the front of that line. It's far past time to legislate teachers statewide as "essential."

In theory the city can never give CFD a contract regardless of arbitration. The court will never freeze city bank accounts and demand payment. So why would they care.
Start wrapping your heads around the fact that Chicago as a whole and entities like CPS will be under federal receivership just like Detroit was.
Cantanzara talks about the 3rd of a BILLON dollar overtime SHIT-show and what the judge is doing.

By 'essential' you mean forbidden to strike, or engage in any type of work action?
The City of Chicago bankruptcy creeps closer and closer and closer. The transition to West Detroit is ugly to watch.
Take teachers strikes away from them like the Police and Fireman! and go with arbitration.
I'm sure the teachers union will be happy for arbitration!

You were a great man & copper. Such a hard worker. I’m gonna miss you
Police are essential. Fire is essential. Water essential. I'm sure there are others. Teachers ? Dogshit babysitters union .Kids go into cps normal come out angry violent illiterates. Fuck the teachers hard and break their kommie union.
how could you ever qualify cps teachers as essential when 80% of the chill'ins can't read or do simple math...
Unions exist to represent membership on wages and working conditions.
Employers exist to provide products and services.
An intrinsic conflict here is this: neither the employer nor the union employees gives a shit about the consumers being provided with best services and products.
Why?
No competition.
To solve this conflict requires the complete dissolving of cps.
Liquidate all cps assets, limiting all selected real estate properties with deed covenants committing to school usage for, say, 30years.
The private sector provides competition most vigorously.
The politicals can eat shit.
The sergeants contract has been expired for 3 years. We should be allowed to strike if contracts aren’t settled within a certain time frame.
Bust the teachers union. Get ‘em down to $15 a hour. Give the money to the police pension.
if fatass Pritzker (or the Illinois legislature) would classify the teachers as a essential service they would not be able to strike.
yep, gotta give them teachers their raise for consistently failing the chill-ins
Chicago is going to declare bankruptcy! It’s painfully obvious. The Democrats have failed us.
Or, maybe it’s because the teachers have a much stronger union than the police and firefighters…
Bitch better have my money.
But since the teachers can hold the children hostage, have the ability to strike and own Conehead, they think they deserve to be up at the front of that line. It's far past time to legislate teachers statewide as "essential.
Their like the frontline first responders of and for the children.
Awesome guy. Great cop, so welcoming and incredibly hard worker. He will be missed.
They failed you. They're wildly successful at their purpose, which is to crash their part of the system.
Take the money from the illegals.
The police unions need to get a judgement against the city for money they have not been paid and start seizing city property and auctioning it off.
I think the term teachers is being sorely abused. These kids learn more from their babysitters than their so called “teachers”.
Chicago is going broke, or already is. They will never tell us. They lie to us you know... Get your shit together and save at least a couple of months pay if you havent already. Prepare for a run on loans from the credit union if and when this does occur. It may be harder to draw your money out. Perhaps set up a savings account at another bank.
It has always been said that "The city would never not pay the emergency service workers" because of the chaos that would ensue. Hopefully, they have the good sense to pay firefighters and police before they pay teachers and librarians. But we may be taking our own garbage out if you know what I mean.
Buckle up! It's going to be a bumpy ride...my last day is the first day their check bounces. Work schedules may be thinner than usual. OT will cease to exist.
I worked for a buisness that went broke. A paychecks bounced and I left. Two weeks later people were still working there full time hoping on a promise to come true. It never did. They never got paid. No one in management ever gave us a heads up, in fact "everything was just fine"
The far left and the media will blame Trump and not the long line of liberal politicians with communist ideology that ruined this city year after year. Untimately I blame the voters of cook county and Chicago for being so shortsighted. And Illinois is following in their footsteps.
It might be prudent to have a back up plan is all I am saying...
Everone complains about CPS. I say, look in the mirror. Over the last several years CPD has been an utter and complete failure. Sure, there are brief moments where the light shines bright on the CPD, but overall, the future is dim. Is it due to the failure of the command staff, the laws passed cutting back on the authority the police have or is it simply shitty coppers getting hired over the last 10 years or so. I say it's all of those issues, and some others, that are causing people to leave the city, including myself. Before you woof "troll" I was on the job for over 30 years, retiring 5 years ago. So very sad what has happened to the CPD. So, What's the answer?
Is this the interview that got Amy fired?
Or what? What you gonna do tough guy?
Not some, not half, but all my cash.
Why are we stll burning .5 hours for BFD days still? I spoke to John and he said that this will be taken care of this contract. Majority of the department is on 8.5hrs. Over 10 years and that’s close to $2000 we lost. Fix it!
8 years and the police DO NOT have a contract either.
Look up the word "Narcissist"...
That’s laughable it’s all Dems man
Take your pills
Comparing cps teachers to cpd, what were you thinking?
Easy peasy... close all those underutilized "schools", take the savings and pay yo damn bills... Then cut some more.
Damn right I am. What has FOP, or any other police “union” done for you. Long delayed contracts, failure to protect the rights of current members by providing proper representation, and the outright theft of your union dues. In addition, failure to successfully negotiate to eliminate meritorious promotions and failure to provide complete transparency to the members of FOP. Yet they vigorously defend the coppers that clearly screw up, even to the extent of helping the chosen few elude accountability ( think Muhammad, the “shooting Sheik”.) Wake the f up.
So, you are comparing the unions', then?
And completely disregarding the natures' of the professions?
And, given that a union represents the wage/benefits and working conditions of their members, by default ignoring the differences between the professions?
How democratic of you.
I think that they didn’t need to be on a classroom for 18 months during COVID more than proves they aren’t “essential.”
When is someone going to realize that AI could do a better job teaching than CPS? There’s billions of savings in the city budget, right there.
