The Chicago Teachers Union says nearly 90 percent of teachers voted in favor of giving the union authorization to strike.

Rahm only needs to stand up and say at a press conference the statistic his School President said at a recent Economic Club of Chicago Luncheon. And that is; The Chicago School System only has a 4% graduation rate from college. Yep, 96% of the kids that enter a Chicago public school will not graduate from college. That is 6 times worse than the national average. Rahm says that and I don’t know how the teachers have a leg to stand on.

Yup...the fact the union is asking for a 30 % increase over two years is probably a clue the unions know the jig is up...
Change will come whether or not they like it
You don’t understand Chicago.
.. but.. I do understand.. Rom and friends, are being told that they will be getting an invitation to OCCUPY, THEIR TRUNK, if they don't sign on the dotted line.. This is a GUN FREE city that must mean you have to pay for your own weapon, just watch the body count every weekend..
These teachers must be teaching real GUN CONTROL, and deserve a raise.. jus sayin
I see a political strategy here. Call a strike in the fall, close to the election. When it looks like no common ground can be found 0bama comes in off his campaigning so that he can be the grand negotiator. Strike is called off and 0bama comes off as a hero for kids and education. A rat strategy.
