Stacy Davis Gates, president of the Chicago Teachers Union, speaks about contract negotiations outside of Richards Career Academy on April 16, 2024. The Chicago Teachers Union is asking for 9% annual raises or compensation equivalent to the consumer price index, whichever is higher, as part of its contract proposals, to account for rising inflation and the cost of living.
The CTU has yet to specify all demands included in contract proposals. But at the forefront of priorities is paying the union’s workforce of predominantly women “their fair share” and to raise the floor for paraprofessionals such as clerks and teacher assistants who are the lowest wage earners in the union, Davis Gates said Tuesday.
To bring the public to the table in finding solutions, CTU said it sent a request to CPS last Friday to livestream bargaining sessions. The district has not yet responded to the request. CPS has said it wants to learn more about the union’s request and that the district “looks forward to negotiating a fair contract that balances the interests of the hard-working educators with our budget constraints” when negotiations commence.
