CMSA Coming Together
Loading...
Uploaded by UnionSummerChicago on Aug 6, 2010
On June 23rd CMSA teachers filed for union recognition with school management with over two-thirds, 67%, supporting the organization of a union. Instead of working with teachers, school management fired a top teacher (who helped organize the union), and hired a very expensive law firm to fight the teachers' organizing efforts. CMSA teachers are currently working to protect their right to unionize.
In pursuit of bettering the school and protecting teachers' rights of free association on Thursday, August 5, 2010, teachers, parents, alumni, students, labor leaders, and community members came together to speak with CMSA's principal.
This is the footage of that gathering.
Why did CMSA teachers decide to form a union?
CMSA teachers decided to form a union because they want to make CMSA better through having a voice in the decision making process. By forming a union teachers gain a way to influence school policy and curriculum. CMSA's management has not been responsive to teachers' suggestions; a union contract is the only way to guarantee that when teachers speak up on behalf of students they are heard.

By pulling the fire alarm he has broken the law. That is a false alarm. If the fire department had to show up then it would have been a waste of tax payers money. Also it can place others in the community in danger......WAY TO GO TEACHERS!! YOU HAVE MY SUPPORT>
