Service Employees International Union State Council, which represents 160,000 workers in Illinois, announced in a proposal that it is “attack” from the Chicago Teachers Union and a contract proposal by the Teachers Union has condemned that Seyu said that they said they said Will work with your union and give them to CTU.
The Teachers Union has been interacting with its contract with Chicago Public Schools since April, and as part of its proposals is the language that SEIU 73 said that some classroom assistants will allow those who are CTU members who are currently special education Classes are to do the work done by the assistants. Special education class assistants are represented by SEIU 73, not CTU.
The roles are the same but there are differences in job details. Special education class gives students one-on-one tuition and individual hygiene with a tributary and hearing loss, learning inability and behavioral disorders. Teachers assistant, on the contrary, provide tuition under the supervision of the class teacher.
If the district CTU agreed to the proposed contract language, SEU had earlier threatened to sue the CPS. The tribune first reported the Sangh’s struggle in December.
SEIU Sankalp, was passed by the Board of State Council on Wednesday, announces that SEIU 73, the local education class assistants representing the local, are “subject to the attack.”
Sankalp said, “SEIU Illinois State Council stands with them in solidarity as they fight to protect the important tasks done by SECA in Chicago public schools.”
The Representative Board of the State Council will “take protective measures to protect its membership and collective bargain rights,” Sankalp said.
CTU said in a statement that both unions have a common goal “to provide the best public education to our students, their families and the entire educational community in Chicago.”
“However, we may have different interpretations of specific policies, united with CTU SEIU and someone else is committed to support our weakest students in the city’s school buildings, ensuring that they grow And receive the resources required to flourish, “the Teachers Association said.
SEIU resolution is a significant growth in a large conflict between SEIU and CTU that is notable in part because the unions worked together first.
SEIU 73 president Dion Palmer worked with other labor leaders including CTU President Stacey Davis Gates to help Brandon Johnson choose as mayor, and has been close partners during labor disputes with the district. CTU and SEIU labor movement are more progressive than some of their trade unions counterparts, and the ability to divide the political left of Chicago in any partition between them.
Palmer said in a statement that his union would not allow CTU to “talk to the SECAS work, which weakens our collective bargaining agreement, or endanger the good of the students of specialized education that Our members serve every day. ”
He said that the Sangh fought “tireless” to secure job security for secas, such as boundaries when they can be assigned to other duties, guaranteeing access to individual education program meetings and new fare Compulsory training for.
Palmer said, “It is necessary to ensure safety measures that SECAS can effectively support students of special education in CPS.”
SEIU State Council President Greg Kelly said the union “Our sister is integrated into our commitment to stand with the local SEIU 73 as they continue to fight for the safety of their members.”
The growth of conflict puts the Chicago Federation of Labor, in which both unions are in a difficult place.
CFL president Bob Reiter said that the federation does not usually comment on disputes between the affiliated unions.
Both SEIU and CTU are also associates AFL-CIO, which was re-included by the Seva Employees Union last month. In a declaration at that time, SEIU said that it was joining the National Labor Federation on a large scale to “create unprecedented activists power” and “win unions for all workers”.
The constitution member of AFL-CIO restricts unions affiliated to the raids. “Every affiliated will refrain from raiding the established bargaining relationship of any other affiliation,” reads the constitution.
The SEIU resolution stops directly from calling Ctu’s functions “raids”. Each SEIU local should stand together “in front of an attack from an external unit”, whether it is a existential threat to the workers from the raid or ISC, “reads the resolution.
SEIU 73 Executive Vice President Stasia Scott said that the Sangh raided CTU’s works in a December interview with Chicago Public Media. “And if you wear it beautiful clothes, at the end of the day, it is still an impression,” he said.
