CCCTU

Higher ed workers know the challenges on our campuses, and we know change happens when we organize & advocate together. That's why we're going to the Capitol on Thurs, April 16 & calling on lawmakers to pass & fund HB 1581, the Adequate & Equitable Public University Funding Act.

Friday, May 1st, will be a day of civic action across Chicago and the country. Our House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on all CCCTU members to join us for No Work, No School, No Shopping! Take a PTO day. More details soon.

President Tony Johnston is out with IL Sen. Graciela Guzman, U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez, and Miguel Alvelo Rivera, candidate for 40th House District, greeting people at the polls this morning. Get out and vote! #ElectionDay #UnionStrong

Women deserve workplaces that value our time, our health, and our contributions. Unions help make that real.

In the upcoming primary election, many Illinois communities will see a ballot question related to the creation of a new statewide voucher program.

Educators lead the way. ❤️🍎 Did you know Women’s History Month started as a grassroots movement in California, where educators launched a local Women’s History Week in 1978?

Imagine this: your school, campus, or workplace finally gets the full funding it’s owed. What changes first? This week through March 6 - our next Full Funding Friday! - we’re collecting videos from members across Illinois answering this question.

🚨 Last Call! Scholarship deadlines are quickly approaching! 🚨 If you’ve been thinking about applying… today is the day!

On February 6, we asked members to once again stand together and demand full funding, and we were not disappointed.

Thank you to the many union members who make today's big game happen!

Black History Month honors the people, movements, labor, culture, and care that have shaped our collective past and continue to shape our present.

Voting by mail? Don't wait until the last minute. Post office changes to the postmarking process may affect your ballot! zurl.co/7Ziav

Join us 2/17 for a Lobby Day in Springfield! Federal cuts and an outdated tax system are squeezing working families while starving our schools, colleges, and communities.

This is a huge victory for equity in our colleges. We're proud to be part of AFT, which led this lawsuit. zurl.co/enzur #UnionStrong #AFT

Illinois is a donor state. When federal funds are frozen, we’re being punished and robbed. It’s time for bold leadership and progressive revenue. ✍️ Write Gov. Pritzker. #FullFundingFridays @iftaft @iftaft.bsky.social zurl.co/wN7HE
