Union leaders from various organizations, including SEIU, United Electrical workers, Chicago Teachers Union, AFSCME, United Auto Workers, National Nurses United, Graduate Employees Organization, and Warehouse Workers for Justice, have endorsed a ceasefire resolution set for a heated Council vote on Wednesday, following a contentious delay last week. Chicago Public Schools (CPS) students are staging walkouts in solidarity with Palestine, with events planned across a dozen high schools in the city. The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), representing 1.72 million workers, has also adopted a resolution calling for a ceasefire. A large student protest is developing at City Hall, with over 260 participants. The AFT executive council has unanimously adopted a resolution that supports a bilateral negotiated ceasefire, a two-state solution, and condemns antisemitism and Islamophobia while advocating for safe expression of dissent in the US.
