Chicago Teacher’s Union Told Members To Hide Vaccination Statushttps://hotair.com/archives/jazz-shaw/2021/03/17/chicago-teachers-union-told-members-hide-vaccination-status/Hey, do you remember back in the beginning of February when Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot told the Chicago Teachers Union that the teachers had to return to class in one week or she would “take action?†The union responded by threatening to go on strike. I’m still not sure how that was an effective strategy since they were already basically on strike anyway, but it bought them some additional time. The union insisted that all the teachers would need to be vaccinated before in-person classroom instruction could resume.
The situation is still bogged down, though Illinois did agree to prioritize vaccinations for teachers. So what’s the holdup? They still don’t know how close they are to vaccinating all of the teachers. Maybe one reason for that is that the union sent out an email to the teachers suggesting they don’t tell the city or the school district whether or not they had gotten the vaccine. This all started at the beginning of March when it looked like a deal had been struck.
It wouldn't happen, but school districts and states need to go
ATC-union on the NEA and AFT.
