* From a Chicago Public Schools spokesperson…
All:
In case you were unable to attend the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board hearing earlier today, below you’ll find a statement from CPS CEO Forrest Claypool on the 4-1 decision to move forward to seek injunctive relief against future illegal CTU strikes.
Statement (Claypool)
“The Labor Board’s important ruling gives Chicago families more certainty that the CTU leadership cannot strike illegally whenever they want, and we are gratified that the Board has taken a major step toward injunctive relief against future strikes.
“Now we return to the bargaining table, in another effort to prevent a strike and the disruption that it would create for Chicago’s students, who are making more progress than ever before.
“We urge the CTU leadership to reconsider the recommendations of the neutral third party, or the deal their leadership previously negotiated and accepted, or the offer to use binding arbitration like police and fire unions. For our part, CPS will continue to use every tool at our disposal to reach a final deal.”
Background
· Three of the five appointees on the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Board were appointed by Democratic governors.
· The next step is that the Labor Board will request that the Attorney General take the matter to court.

So will AG Madigan issue the injunction per the Labor Board’s ruling, given father Mike’s tight-as-a-drum relationship with CTU?
