The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), representing 30,000 members, is set to renegotiate its contract with Chicago Public Schools, expiring in June. The union has proposed a transformative four-year renewal that includes demands for affordable housing for unhoused families and bilingual education for all students. The CTU, now CORE-led, unveiled this contract proposal on Tuesday and is advocating for public involvement in the negotiation process, a shift from traditional private bargaining. This approach follows the election of a mayor who was heavily supported by the union, indicating a potential shift in the dynamics of the negotiations.
Since CORE-led CTU is inviting input from the public on contract talks, we have some suggestions. First: No contract should be ratified unless CORE releases Audit Reports. Second: The new contract must contain a clause tying increases to teacher pay to student performance. https://t.co/53GMP1tXeZ

The @ctu wants to negotiate its next contract in the "front yard" rather than the "back room." Key to the negotiations: This time, the union will be bargaining with a mayor it spent heavily and fought hard to elect. More from @wttw's @ByMattMasterson: https://t.co/PpW05HhkHL
