'Why was Mayor Johnson so eager to give parental leave to the teachers union, yet has given no indication he is planning or even willing to do the same for Chicago police?' -Jack_Elbaum
Earlier this month, Johnson announced that he had made an agreement with the Chicago Teachers Union that would give Chicago Public Schools' teachers “the same 12 weeks of paid parental leave already provided to all 32,000 city employees.” He made this move unilaterally and without negotiation, which was a departure from the approach taken by his predecessor who said she supported extending parental leave, but only through negotiation.Johnson said, “This is not a gift to the CTU.
The police union now has the same question, which is why, according to the Illinois Policy Institute, it is “urging Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to provide Chicago police officers with the same parental leave benefits given to the Chicago Teachers Union without negotiating for it.”
