We will see how quickly they change their tune if pay gets docked.
Chicago Teachers Vote Against In-Person Learning. Mayor: Defies ‘Common Sense’

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot speaks in front of a blue background.
Back in school for just two days, Chicago officials canceled classes Wednesday after almost three-fourths of teachers union members voted in favor of returning to remote learning.
The union said the break from in-person school would last two weeks, unless positive COVID-19 cases declined or an agreement was reached over safety precautions.
“We believe that our city’s classrooms are where our students should be,” said the union’s statement. “Regrettably, the mayor and her [Chicago Public Schools] leadership have put the safety and vibrancy of our students and their educators in jeopardy.”

But the district called the vote a work stoppage and said teachers would lose pay if they don’t show up on Wednesday. Parents were told to expect an update on how their children would continue learning by the end of the day.
“To be clear, what CTU is seeking cannot be counted as an instructional day under state law and guidance,” the district said in a statement.

As districts nationally try to contain further outbreaks due to the Omicron variant, and parents once again scramble to adjust to abrupt shifts to remote learning, the standoff between the district and the union is a major test for CEO Pedro Martinez, who took over leadership of the district in late September. On Tuesday, he appealed to the union and the community, calling for a plan triggering school closures that better “represents the times that we’re in” and reflects that vaccines are now available for staff and students. He argues that cases increase when students are out of school and that closing schools would only increase community spread. Mayor Lori Lightfoot said during a Tuesday night press conference that returning to remote learning would “harm hundreds of thousands of Chicago families.”
“Wree”?Yep for sure but these clowns think they are above all of that. Now there wree 27% who voted to stay in school so I am not sayhing it is all of them. But it is the vast majority.

Lightfoot stormed out of meeting with victim of $1m smash and grab
The bad feelings date back to a December smash-and-grab at the Perillo-owned Gold Coast Exotic Motors in suburban Chicago, which also sells high-priced jewelry.www.dailymail.co.uk
Perillo, who said he voted for Lightfoot in 2019, has been highly critical of both the mayor and Chicago's progressive District Attorney Kim Foxx after thefts skyrocketed 51 percent in the city last year.
'It's only a fool who keeps doing things the same way and expects different results. If the Mayor and Kim Foxx don't do anything to get control of this, it's not going to get better. It's going to get worse,' Perillo told local TV stations.
'If they don't do anything about this, they're going to lose a lot of businesses. They lost Macy's. They're losing Neiman Marcus. They may lose this store,' he added.

Plenty of Fox News dumbasses in this thread I agree, but I’m pissed about the casino decision. Lori sets up a committee then announces the River North / River West decision before they have a chance to vote. Ballys also only paid half the fees other bidders. Almost no one wants it.CDS.
I have a suggestion: Stay in Kokomo or in whatever stupid town you live. No one cares what you think of Chicago.
You and yours would probably be the family I see eating at TGI Fridays when Chicago has some of the greatest restaurants in the world.
you’re a know nothing. Stay away from here. Far, far away.
Has me ready to run through a wall! I wasn't planning on canvassing for her, but I'm heading out to knock on doors now.
She's confused. She is the biggest dick in Chicago.
Kim Foxx is the #1 problem in Chicago. You guys should read and complain about her. I wish Fox News, etc would also pick up on thisShe's confused. She is the biggest dick in Chicago.
Yet you probably voted for Obama, Hillary, and Biden who are George Soros’ biggest supporters. Smart move.Kim Foxx is the #1 problem in Chicago. You guys should read and complain about her. I wish Fox News, etc would also pick up on this
I don’t think Foxx is/ was Soros backed surprisingly enough. She somehow became DA all on her own.Yet you probably voted for Obama, Hillary, and Biden who are George Soros’ biggest supporters. Smart move.

Home base for Obama, Hillary, Rahm, the Daleys, Axelrod, etc. You surprised?A lot of us are aware of her, and have noted her "contributions." That doesn't mean we can't comment on what a nasty bitch Beetlejuice is. It takes a lot of Dems to completely f up a city the size of Chicago.
Correct!Kim Foxx is the #1 problem in Chicago. You guys should read and complain about her. I wish Fox News, etc would also pick up on this

Worry about your backyard.We care, ahole, because we see society imploding, and it eventually affects all of us.

I dig I dig. Chicago and Mexico are a lot alike. I wonder why they don’t make a law saying drugs are illegal and a background check is needed to buy a gun?![]()
Mexico has just one store where you can legally buy a gun and it's located on a heavily-guarded military base
Most of the guns in Mexico are smuggled in from the United States. Mexico's gun laws are so strict, there's only one store to legally purchase a gun.www.businessinsider.com

Um....drugs are illegal in Mexico. But when the cartels are armed as well, if not better than the army, then there is not much the police can do. They shot down a Blackhawk helicopter loaded with police. Watch this video:I dig I dig. Chicago and Mexico are a lot alike.
