Daley Local 1600

Despite our chapter leadership urging administration otherwise, the Sun-Times and WBEZ have published this disappointing report:
"But the City Colleges of Chicago...haven’t complied with three of the four key requirements...the procedures...don’t lay out how staff members are supposed to document interactions with immigration agents or notify staff or students if agents are looking for information about them. And there’s no contact for reporting sightings of agents on the school system’s website."

Illinois colleges failing to protect immigrant students despite new law, WBEZ/Sun-Times analysis finds Advocates have touted the Illinois law that applies to public colleges as a model, but some colleges don’t make it easy to find information and don't have protocols for what to do if immigration agents come on campus.

Happy May Day, Daley 1600! We'll be at the UIC quad at 1 pm! March at 2. Come on out, wear red. Solidarity! ✊

On International Workers’ Day, America’s unions celebrate the strength and solidarity of the labor movement, and we’re committed to building global worker power and justice.

Solidarity forever ✊

May Day originated in Chicago in 1886, when workers organized for an eight-hour workday. Today, it is observed around the world as International Workers’ Day.

Jackson Potter looks at the history of May Day, recent criticism from the Chicago Tribune of Chicago Public Schools’ decision to mark its significance, and the nationwide actions being organized by labor and community groups this year.
