LA Teachers Union Wants 20 Percent Raise

"Oh, yes, I talked to you yesterday about two lane medical school right yes. That was done. What did I, oh, yes. Oh yeah, yes, today's headline in the Los Angeles Times. LA teachers union rallies for 20% raise and smaller classes. So let me say for the record, I have such contempt for the teachers union and most of its members. I hope they go on strike, and I hope people decide, finally, teachers are not in general their children's Friends. If that was not proven to you over the last two years, the odds are you will never conclude this. The amount of damage done to your child by teachers in the last two years clamoring to keep schools shut, remember the Chicago teachers union remember that how they refused to go into class, these hypochondriac, weaklings, cowards, ignoramuses, ignoramuses because they had they obviously didn't know that in Sweden teachers taught kids and nothing happened.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot Blames Union Leaders for ‘Chaotic Conduct’

"Okay, let me play for you the most important things that happen yet. Chicago school, teachers went out on strike, the mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot said this. Cut 16. Enough is enough. We are standing firm and we are going to fight to get our kids back in person learning. Period, full stop. I hope it's period full stop. I don't believe her. She hasn't issued the patco threat that Ronald Reagan did. Do your job or lose your job? Come to work or don't ever come back to her. Lori Lightfoot only said, we're gonna fight for that. She did not threaten the teachers with discharge. Again, play it. Cut number 16. Enough is enough. We are standing firm and we are going to fight to get our kids back in person learning. Period, full stop. All right, I hope that's correct. Guy Benson, who's on special report with Brett Bayer last night, expanded on the silver lining to the Chicago teacher union strike. Cut number 15. To go to have the president go to Chicago and stand by Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot. Some people are saying, maybe that is a good thing for him to do. All right, for him to say something as opposed to having other folks say, oh, the president's been clear. He'd like to see schools open. Stand up, mister president. To these political allies of yours and tell them to get back into classrooms and stop harming children. Look, if you did that, that'd be good. I would give him one cheer, not two or three. Same with mayor lightfoot. I'm glad some Democrats are finally saying these things. The problem is these are the politicians who have coddled and indulged and enabled exactly these types of really abuses for the last year and a half flying in the face of science. These teachers unions have learned that they can get away with these things and to belatedly try to catch up to public opinion and finally acknowledge the science here is better late than never, but still not particularly impressive, I would say. That's the issue that Democrats are facing. The one silver lining Brett in my view, and it's hard to find one because kids are hurting as they have been for two years, is that some of the things that conservatives have been saying about teachers unions and school choice have basically been amplified playing out in a two year long infomercial, and this is extremely high profile and maybe some parents and some leaders will wake up.

Pulitzer Prize winner Great Calmness really has his finger on the pulse. Chicago, especially the Pullman neighborhood. So what do you think? Finally happened? And where am I supposed to follow the money Mark? Well, I mean, I think that this is the apparent agreement that everybody needed. And when it comes to following the money, you know, I kind of stumbled on Overboard, really watching press Thomas of politician saucing Chicago Teachers union talking points, so I started to search for how much money politicians were getting from. The Chicago teachers Do you and political action Committee and just from the video alone, it turns up But $340,126 and independent and I won't tweet about it. You know, I figured out you know, interesting. Public records Search And people started jumping down my throat We had. What should you know? Why would you do that? You know, why would you say that should be asked him if their opinions will be bought. And, uh, What kept working for more. There was a letter sent out where a bunch of state reps and all the moon you know, we're lobbying the mayor, if you know the case in CCU, and that's when the number one up even higher. It was $795,796 from the Political Action Committee, and I don't even count the other political action committees or the Where you get the vory So, uh, it was very interesting to see you know how the teacher was lobbying, um, with their strike threats. Theo, you know, against reopening from In person learning was that they were calling people who you know they've written checks to to stand up in solidarity. Yeah, well, this this brings to the forefront and we talked about this. You final talk about until I'm blue in the face. The The inherent you know the inherent of No system is just flawed. When public sector unions make donations to the very politicians they helped elect who are going to negotiate with the same unions for their next contract. It's untenable. The situation is almost it's it's it really. Oughta be disavowed. It really ought to be made illegal. I just don't quite know how to get that done. You know, we're having this conversation about ethics in Springfield. I think you're 100%, right. You know, in the federal government can't use union dues for political action from public employees for Political action Committee. But from here, you know on the Shaw sent me an email from Thea. Other day, you said, you know it's taxation without representation. Money comes from the said pastor pays a teacher's salary. Open the CTU with views and it gets pulled off in the political action Committee and right back in the politicians. And I think that you know your point that you make all the times. I mean, I agree with is even more intense with CTU know because Stacy gave escaped the vice president. Um, is the chairwoman off Chairperson of United Working families, which is a political action committee that is designed to create its own political party. They're looking to five Well informed. People to run for office and you know, and the taxpayers we're funny and all of that effort, and that's where most of the money comes from. And you know whether what no matter what side you're on about what kids go back to school. Yeah, I think that it's important that we realized that the reason that the teachers union is so powerful because 20 28,000 of them. All Those unions is In the following about him with political systems T gain influence. Lot of your money over the year went directly to much American. So you know what the strike threat over? You know, for all of our safety year in person running it all coming down to a political power play. And I think that that's a conversation that needs to be continuing..

Joining me now is KQED housing reporter Erin Baldessari, who visited the center located downtown in the Lower Polk neighborhood. So Aaron, these navigation centers have become one model of how the city is tackling its homelessness crisis in the city, says these centers take a more holistic approach to housing people. That's right. Yeah Navigation centers are essentially homeless shelters that offer services on site. They have lower barriers to entry so folks can bring their pets in. They can cohabitate with partners often times If you were curfews and set meal times, so it's just easier for people to access those services and at this particular center. There will also be opportunities for job training and for folks to continue their education. These young people who are between 18 and 24, they make up about 14% of the city's homeless population. What issues does this group have that necessitates the need for a separate location from older adults. Studies have shown that if you separate out younger adults from older adults within homeless shelters that that can lead to better outcomes, So this is really about a preventative measure to ensure that young people are not becoming chronically homeless. And it's also part of a campaign that Mayor London Breed launched in 2018, which has some city money in it, But it's mostly funded through philanthropic donations, and that will help folks in the center access rental.

I think I said that in my opening remarks, Okay, over and over again. We want to deal done. We're ready. We're calling. We're practically begging, see to you to come to the table so we can get a deal done. Practically begging the Chicago Teachers union. To agree to finally go back into schools. So if you're wondering, am I exaggerating? Am I Am I going too far by by dumping all over the teachers unions right now across the answer is no. Here. You have a Democrat mayor in a very Democrat City. Who is making it quite clear that the teachers unions are just holding kids hostage because they want more stuff. It's not just about air filtration systems. Give me a break. They want more stuff. They want more funding. I'm sure what they're going to do is say that they need all this funding for co vid, but then anything they don't use for co but could be used on other things, too. That's how this game is played. Public sector unions are a blight. Blight on our society. They should not exist and that was known from the very beginning of the formation of unions in this country in the early 20th century. Now. Here we are. Dealing with this. And seeing exactly who really does care about the kids. The Children? Oh, let's put let's put Randi Weingarten on TV again. Teachers just wanna teach. Yeah, sure they do. Teachers unions, though, want to make sure that they're turning the taxpayer upside down and taken all the pennies they can out of their pockets while the country's in a crisis and kids are suffering and parents are suffering The teachers are getting understand this There are now places where the teachers are vaccinated, and they're still complaining about how they don't want to go into school. So you're back. So you get to the front of the vaccination line. You're vaccinated, but you still don't want to go in. Oh, cough it. I'm sorry. At some point. This is too much. At some point. This is people being afraid of their own shadow or pretending that they're afraid of their own shadow. Which is a problem. In and of itself. Some ways worse problem, at least real fear.

Imagine how devastating it would be for a nurse. Attend to a patient with coronavirus. You can't breathe. I can't freaking breathe. We're not handling how we deal with this virus very well. We're overreacting and overreaching. But there is no doubt that for the few who get it, and it's develops, which are almost always the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. It's a horrible, horrible condition. You can't breathe. That's a terrible, terrible thing..
