CCCTU Members Join the Picket Line to Support CTU Teachers on Strike
For the first time in 25 years, members of the Chicago Teachers Union are on strike. Teachers are fighting for respect and a fair contract and members of the CCCTU are right by their side, manning picket lines throughout the city.
Local 1600 Vice-President Rochelle Robinson-Dukes picketed at Ray Elementary with her son, Scott Franklin Dukes, a CPS student. Vice President Dave Richmond picketed at Lane Tech High School with a contingent of Harper College faculty. On Wednesday, Harper union members were encouraged to wear red in solidarity with CTU. Legislative Chair Bill Naegele, a CTU member, manned the picket line at 6:30 am at Board headquarters along with CTU members and the “infamous union rat”. Grievance Chair Chuck Mustari has been picketing at Chicago High School for the Agricultural Sciences.
