We stood by CTU through 2 longish strikes and a number of other labor actions. This one is hard to take.

Their main condition (10% positivity) is absurd, and probably won't be met for weeks. Their other condition (some metric) has already been mostly met.

Most Chicago area universities have pushed off in-person for some weeks, or don't start until later this month anyway. But when they go back, if CTU is still holding their people back, it's gonna be a shitstorm.

Never said this about a union before, but they are well and truly losing me here.

ON EDIT: Classes started on Monday - kids have already been back in school for two days!
