WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Apr 19, 2021

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>For months, the Chicago Teachers Union has forbidden their teachers

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>to show up at city schools because of the coronavirus,

0:00:06.920 --> 0:00:10.320
<v Speaker 1>despite the fact that schools do not contribute to the

0:00:10.400 --> 0:00:14.120
<v Speaker 1>spread of the illness, according to the CDC. So lately,

0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Teachers Union has been negotiating with school administrators

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>who want to begin the process of reopening the schools

0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>on a gradual basis, something other cities and states have

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>been doing for months. But on Sunday, the rank and

0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>file democrats excuse me, the rank and file union members

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and voted overwhelmingly to give administrators the collective middle finger.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>They said they would not return to the classroom despite

0:00:40.000 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>an order requiring ten thousand teachers to show up this week.

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.159
<v Speaker 1>Chicago Mayor Laurie Lightweight is pleading with the union to

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>return to work, to no avail. Thousands of Chicagoans have

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.960
<v Speaker 1>been thrown out of work, many evicted because of the shutdown.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Scores of small businesses have closed their doors for good.

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>Parents who can't afford to pay somebody to watch their

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>kids are forced to remain at home, can't go to

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>work or look for work. All the while these union

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:13.400
<v Speaker 1>members have been getting their paychecks and they still refuse

0:01:13.480 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to go back to work. This is what your Democrat parties,

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>endless shutdowns are doing to America, and they couldn't care less.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>This is exactly what they want to happen.
