Mayor Johnson extends 12 weeks of parental leave to Chicago Public Schools teachers, staff
It’s a quick and easy way for the new mayor to start delivering for the unions whose campaign contributions and foot soldiers helped put him in office.
To qualify for full pay for 12 weeks of leave, CPS employees must work for the school system for at least one year before the parental leave begins and have worked at least 1,250 hours during those 12 months. The federal Family Medical Leave Act has similar eligibility requirements. That favored-nation status was a marked contrast from the cold shoulder Davis Gates got over the last four years, including when she was stopped at a City Hall elevator by the mayor’s security team and barred from participating in the final round of negotiations that ended the 11-day teachers strike.Davis Gates recalled the “hardship” she was forced to undergo “to be a mom.” The mother of three said she had to beg her parents for help just to pay her bills.
She recalled the hardships of her own first pregnancy because of an inadequate leave policy that currently grants parents “one-to-two weeks of paid leave, unless they are eligible for short-term disability.”
