My Rights
In every school and workplace, unity in action protects our members and the students we serve.
Together, our union fights to win.
Do This Now
Three types of accommodations
Under the recently ratified Framework for Resumption of In-Person Instruction, three types of accommodations are offered to members who qualify and an unpaid, job-protected leave is offered to any member concerned about returning to in-person instruction under the conditions of the agreement. See details here.
When We Fight, We Win
Support for CTU members locked out fighting for safety
A brave few stepped forward and inspired us all throughout this fight. CPS agreed to reinstate all locked out members and drop discipline against them. The mayor and CPS refused to pay the wages they owe PSRPs and teachers who stood up for safety. We’re supporting them and fighting to get what they deserve.

My Contract
