The Chicago Teachers Union, long an advocate for climate protection, has just won language in its new contract spelling out climate and climate justice provisions for students and educators. These provisions are important not only in themselves, but because they provide a model that other unions can include in their collective bargaining agreements.
The Labor Network for Sustainability is partnering with the Chicago Teachers Union on a webinar on April 21 at 5 PT/7 CT/ 8 ET to amplify this victory and let other workers know how they can do it, too.
