Chicago Public Schools, teachers union file unfair labor complaints against each other.
Chicago Public Schools and the teachers union have filed unfair labor charges against one another, with each side asking state officials to end the current dispute over in-person learning in their favor.
CPS said in its statement that those who reported to buildings got paid, and the district encouraged CTU “to end this illegal work stoppage.” “On Tuesday, January 4, 2022, the CTU illegally directed its members ... not to report to work as directed but to work remotely instead from January 5 until the earlier of January 18 or when CPS meets certain health metrics,” CPS lawyers said in the filing.
CPS has not confirmed the lockouts but many teachers and other school employees have taken to social media to report they’ve been denied access to the CPS computer networks. Pulaski Principal Diana Racasi wrote to parents Thursday that in lieu of in-person classes Friday, “digital resources will be shared on Pulaski’s webpage with multiple projects that students can work on at home independently or with family members or other adults.... Each project can be completed over multiple days, and the projects can be completed in any order. Please email admin if you would like copies to be made for pick up.
