The Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU Local 73 are on strike for class size caps, fair wages, support for homeless students, affordable and sustainable housing, a nurse in every school and more counselors and librarians – and more!
We’ve learned that they have reached a tentative agreement that includes naptime for Pre-K students. Yes, we need to strike to get little ones naptime.
This webinar was held on Thursday October 24, 2019 at 9 PM EST. Discussion was facilitated by Labor Notes staff writer and organizer Barbara Madeloni.
SPEAKERS:
- Susana Ibanez, SEIU Local 73, Special Education Classroom Assistant
- Christine Dussault, CTU, elementary teacher
- Dennis Kosuth, certified school nurse
