Having power over our compensation and working conditions is a matter of racial justice. UNE will continue to demand the respect from Network administrators that ALL of our co-workers deserve. Solidarity! #FOIAFriday @CTULocal1

What would you do if Noble released a fraction of the money below and reinvested it in educators, students, and classrooms? Organized charter educ fought hard to get $$ in reserves to their classrooms! #FOIAFriday @CTULocal1

It's #FOIAFriday. Did you know...

This #FOIAFriday UNE wanted to share what the Network currently spends on a few (there are more) of their outside 3rd party vendors to be transparent about where the $$ is going. What would YOUR budget priorities include? @CTULocal1 @ChiACTS

#FOIAFriday sheds a light on Noble's budget. With a union, we'd have the ability to understand where the Network spends its $$ & prioritize what WE think is important in terms of how the $$ is spent. @CTULocal1 @ChiACTS

ICYMI this #FOIAFriday we’re resharing the pay scale bit.ly/NobleSalary. Who receives bonuses & determines how we get them? We want the ability to bargain over our working conditions, including bonuses, like the 1000 union charter educators in Chicago. @CTULocal1 @ChiACTS

At Noble's last Board mtg it was shared that they had $58M in operating cash & saw an increase of $8M in cash & investments in just the last 6 mnths! That's over $1M/month going to the bank & not our classrms. If UNE had a seat at the table & could use our collective power

as a union, mgmt would have to negotiate over things like protected prep pds, equal pay for equal work, sm class sizes, more mental health support, & resources to the classrm. If u want to join UNE in fighting for a seat at the table, reach out at info@chicagoacts.org @CTULocal1

Noble’s Board meets 2/6. Why does a Board of 20 people, w/ no classrm experience, have more power & say in how our schools r run than we do? We need a union contract 2 guarantee educators have a say in our working conditions, not just a select few. #FOIAFriday @CTULocal1 @ChiACTS

Remember our petition asking the Network to “create a salary sched based on input fr paras, college counselors, ofc staff, disciplinarians, & social workers to rectify the inequity in pay (based on gender & race)?” We need a contract 2 addr the inequities that exist #FOIAFriday

2) As new leadership opens up spaces for our input, we deserve the transparency of knowing where the salary sched has left us. We deserve the ability to bargain collectively for fair compensation, living wages, & pay that promotes retention. #FOIAFriday @CTULocal1 @ChiACTS

#FOIAFriday Today we're sharing Noble's principal bonus criteria as obtained from the Network via our December FOIA request. Do you get a bonus? How is your bonus determined? A union contract would establish guaranteed compensation standards for Noble staff. @ChiACTS @CTULocal1

#FOIAFriday is back! Remember...even tho the Network hired a law firm (FOR $695/HR!) to investigate Milkie’s predatory behavior, educators can also contact CPS' Office of Inspector General (which is an INDEPENDENT oversight body) at cpsoig.org/contact.html. @chiacts @CTULocal1
