[ CTU Anti-Safety Reporting ] Davis and Sharkey are the Safety Cops
[ Anti-Safety Reporting ] the Chicago Teachers Union has created a Google document so members can turn people in for organizing any Anti-Safety events or actions at schools. Under what authority does CTU have to order union members to monitor activities and report them back to the CTU. This is not strike action nor under the authority of the Union to enfoce in anyway. Seems the Union has now crossed a line into into interference with free speech and concerted activities the very rights they are suppose to protect.

Reporting Anti-Safety Organizing in Schools
While the CPS-CTU Safety Agreement requiring universal masking in schools is still in place and our charter schools also have negotiated agreements containing masking requirements in place, we know that some members of our school communities will seek to resist common sense safety measures as the COVID pandemic continues. While the right-lawsuit that found friendly audience in a Sangamon County judge's courtroom, we know that COVID safety measures continue to be critical to the safety of our school communities. We cannot arbitrarily lessen safety measures just when we are coming down from the Omicron surge. Our ability to eventually relax safety protocols depends on our continued vigilance now.
Please use this form to report acute, egregious, or seemingly organized resistance to COVID safety measures in our schools, including organized resistance to mask wearing by students, staff or visitors to our schools, intentional non-compliance with required isolation of COVID positive individuals or quarantine of close contacts, or resistance to regular testing by unvaccinated staff. We want to know where school community members are emboldened by the legal case to resist safety measures so we can help members maintain safety protocols and continue to enforce our Safety Agreement. You may fill this form out more than once if you work in more than one school and need to report acute, egregious, or organized resistance to COVID safety measures in more than one school.
Please continue to raise typical safety protocol compliance issues via your School Safety Committee and report unresolved issues within CPS to the District Safety Committee via ctulocal1.org/report. You can still find all our COVID safety resources at ctulocal1.org/safety.
