CTU Teachers Vote to Authorize Strike | 9.26.19
The votes are in and 94% of Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) members voted to authorize a strike on September 26, 2019. (Illinois law mandates that 75% of CTU members must vote yes to authorize union leadership to call for a strike.)
An affirmative strike authorization vote does not mean that CPS teachers will definitely strike. It authorizes a strike in the event that CTU and CPS cannot come to an agreement. We urge both sides to take every measure possible to avoid a strike.
