The Chicago School Board is moving to privatize the management of engineers at 50 schools

The Chicago School Board is moving to privatize the management of engineers at 50 schools. “William Iacullo, president of International Union of Operating Engineers Local 143, questioned board members about why they would give SodexoMAGIC and Aramark the benefit of participating in an expanded pilot program, while the district is in the process of awarding a big contract for the same services. (…) Iacullo says he doesn’t think it is a good idea to privatize engineers through this integrated facilities management contract. ‘What I am worried about is the services being reduced because no company can make money off the Board of Ed without reducing services,’ he says.”
