The Chicago Teachers Union has a long tradition of supporting unions in the city of Chicago. We believe in the rights of all workers to a voice at work and a decent living wage. We know that unionization has been a positive social good that has helped strengthen Chicago's economy and stabilize neighborhoods.CTU believes in the right of all employees to organize and engage in collective bargaining.

Please contact your alderman and/or the alderman where your school is located to let them know that:

As a Chicago Teachers Union member, you want them to sign on to and to vote ?yes? to the resolution that gives non-union school employees the right to organize. We want the alderman to urge all charter school and non-union managers and operators to respect this right by remaining neutral during union organizing campaigns. They should allow their employees to make a choice concerning union representation that is free from coercion or undue influence.
