In 1966, the Chicago City Colleges separated from the Chicago Public Schools and began a struggle for rights that would go on for years. Between 1966 and 1978, The City Colleges went on strike six times, and the CCCTU was the first public employee union in Chicago to gain a collective bargaining contract. In addition, then president Norm Swenson was the first Chicago union president to be sentenced to jail for striking (twice!). Because of the strikes and those of other teacher unions in Illinois, the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act was passed in 1984, which provided a mandatory procedure for educational employees wishing to go on strike and encouraged harmonious relationships between employers and employees in the field of education.
During the 1970s, the CCCTU expanded to include Suburban Faculty, and from the mid-1980s, Suburban Classified and Support Staff chapters were formed. Now included in the Union’s 22 chapters are two Adjunct chapters and even one college’s Security employees. Among those 22 chapters, we represent almost 5,000 individuals, and that number is growing. Perry Buckley succeeded Norm Swenson as president in 2004.
