Chicago Teachers Union members lodged their first demands for a new contract Tuesday — including pay hikes and a host of topics state law bars the labor group from striking over — months before negotiations will likely accelerate with a new administration.(snip)
CTU officials said their proposals include a 5 percent pay raise for union members. The union is also demanding maximum classroom sizes that range between 20 and 24 students in early grades, counselors for every 250 students, and librarians and nurses staffed at every school.(snip)
A union spokeswoman said the CTU had not fully tabulated the cost of its demands, but labor group leaders acknowledged its proposals would require a significant amount of additional spending.
“Where will the money come from? Rich people,” CTU Vice President Stacy Davis Gates said Tuesday, as she repeated the union’s call for Illinois to tax its wealthiest residents at higher rates and pointed to revenue-generating ideas that need support from Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker.

"Where will the money come from? Rich people" (CTU Vice President Stacy Davis Gates)
Between raising taxes, rising crime and the SALT elimination, it’s going to get ugly in the next 5-10 years there.
To fatten the bellies of Chicago teachers.
Leftists, at their core, are thieves.
JoMa
Vouchers, and teacher pay linked to results.
“Leftists, at their core, are thieves.”
Bingo.
‘We can’t produce anything, so let’s TAKE from those who can. It’s easy!’
What about Obama’s stash?
No wonder these people are involved in the education system. They're geniuses to have figured this out !
They don’t care because to them “its only money”
Other people’s money.
Plus they can always get more...billions.
Quite a scan..get us to fund our own demise.
The same rich people that aren’t paying taxes now.
This person probably doesn’t know or understand that there are people who would consider her a rich person. A rich person is usually anyone who has or earns more then oneself has or earns. Alot of these socialism/communism supporters would be shocked when their stuff is taken away for the benefit of everyone but them.
To quote Greg Gutfeld: “I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!”
Already grossly overpaid.
About ten years ago, the governor of Louisiana referred to people making 80k or more a year as the “rich people.”
Venezuela.
With her, the code is "rich people" = "white people".
Class sizes should be a no brainer. Nurse probably not a bad idea for the larger schools. I know these two points are pretty normal for the schools that my kids are attending.
>Vouchers, and teacher pay linked to results.
Rather we re-institute Property Rights & smaller govt:
Eliminate auto-property taxes and people pay DIRECTLY for the services they require/use.
Biz/parents will hire/fire those they believe (will) do the best job, discipline will return as ‘trouble’ will be kicked-out w/o refund and quality will improve since the USER is writing the check
So, 70%+....anyone want to tell me at WHAT % (economic) slavery kicks-in (knowing 100% is a no-brainer).
Land of the Free\Const. Republic my @ss.
Chicago teachers are already the highest paid in the country, especially when benefits are added. 6-figure retirements are the norm, not the exception.
And the Union is one of the most corrupt, a cash cow for graft and Democrats.
