The Chicago Educators Rank-and-File Safety Committee is fighting to organize the opposition to defeat this sellout TA and orient educators towards uniting with workers in every industry to prepare for a nationwide general strike. Sign up to join at wsws.org/edsafety!
At Sunday's CTU all-membership meeting, the union heads issued a torrent of evasions and lies to try to intimidate members into accepting the deal. The CTU leaders’ efforts to ram through the TA revolve around three central lies.
Headteachers *can* legally support Clinically Vulnerable and CEV parents by registering children as a "Covid Related Absence" or "Exceptional Circumstances".

Some heads have supported after seeing the government response (that the decision is theirs)
Unfortunately official DfE guidance still remains that only CEV children are supported & CV/CEV parents (who may be more at risk due to age related risk) aren't.

Hampshire LEA changed rules after threatening a CEV parent at a fines panel meeting. A team of lawyers from the Public Interest Law Centre turned up in support and new guidelines were issued the following day to revoke previous fines to support learning if it"endangers [a] life".
So @GavinWilliamson and @BorisJohnson claimed that schools would be secure from the new strain

Without stringent control it will spread rapidly
Really reinforces the need to take every mitigation measure seriously

Lockdown recommended
School operations must be changed
LFTs as the only new measure is clearly inadequate
2m should be reinforced, additional aerosol transmission is a serious concern
Masks should be worn in classrooms!

Errrr... ? They are either safe or not safe. Which? Show me a school that does not mix different family groups. That’s what schools DO. Gov.uk is totally responsible for the consequences.

Science says it isn’t safe. Why do you know better? @GavinWilliamson
No measures have been put in place in primary schools. 30 to a class, no distancing, no PPE, lamentable lack of testing. #schoolsreopeninguk #CloseSchoolsNOW
If schools are safe Johnson, then why won't you answer FOIs on infections, hospitalisation and deaths of workers?

The Tiers are a mess as well why is Redbridge not on the contingency list with higher rates than some on it?
None of the LAs in Berkshire which is in Tier 4 are on the contingency.
Readings hospital has ambulances queuing outside, yet primary schools open fully next week

It is clear at this point that @ScottMorrisonMP and the rest of the ruling class could not give less of a fuck about ordinary people. They have had months to prepare for this crisis and yet they still have no plan in place to stop the spread of the disease.
They should be learning from other countries by shutting down all non essential industries with full compensation for workers and pouring billions into health to fund testing and treatment.
And yet all we've seen is massive bailouts to industry to protect profits and the economy while Morrison scolds ordinary people for not self isolating, something that he was advocating against last week
