Chicago Teachers Union delegate
vows to 'report' members who show up for work
A Chicago Teachers Union delegate
has vowed to "report" union employees who show up to work at their
school.
Alex Forgue, a physics teacher at
the Chicago Military Academy at Bronzeville, commented on a post inside a
"CTU Members Only Facebook Group," stating that he would be reporting
members who go into work.
"As a delegate, I will be
reporting the names of members who go in," he commented on a post asking
members if the Chicago Teachers Union is posting a "scab" list.
Forgue confirmed that he made the
comment when speaking with Fox News Digital, but said that the union has not
instructed delegates to keep track of who goes into work.
"Yes I did," Forgue
said when asked if he made the comment on Facebook. "However, CTU has not
instructed any delegates to keep track of who went in. No word from CTU
leadership about repercussions for going in."
The Chicago Military Academy at
Bronzeville is part of the Chicago Public Schools system.
Chicago Public Schools has
canceled classes since Wednesday, as a result of a Chicago Teachers Union vote
on Tuesday night where members decided to go back to remote learning due to
surging coronavirus cases in Chicago.
