Instructors at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, citing strong support for unionizing, Wednesday demanded the school’s leadership recognize them as members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The employees issued their demand in a letter to school President Elissa Tenny. “We can confirm that a strong majority of members of our bargaining unit have signed cards, and we want to be represented by Council 31” of AFSCME, the letter said.
