Chicago teachers union slams newspaper that called them out for their members' chronic absence
Fox News
The Chicago Teachers Union president slammed an editorial from the Chicago Tribune that highlighted teachers’ chronic absences when they are paid a median salary of $95,000.
"Have they considered how often educators — especially the 75% of whom are women — are on the front lines of both their classrooms and their families? Does the Trib think workers don’t deserve sick days, FMLA and parental leave? Educators don’t just teach; they sacrifice, care, and persevere. It’s time for the Tribune to reflect the facts," the CTU wrote. Joshua Q. Nelson is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
The union also highlighted Piersanti’s remark aimed at the Tribune's editorial board. Joining Fox News Digital in 2019, he previously graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in Political Science and is an alum of the National Journalism Center and the Heritage Foundation's Young Leaders Program.
