So, the Chicago teachers don't think they got enough...

[TheHumanAlphabet]

They decided to continue the strike to see if they can get more...if I were Rahm, I'd pull a Reagan and fire their asses!! POS union thugs.

They should be fired anyway. Its a school year and they chose to strike rather than work.
My understanding is the chicago teachers already get paid handsomely compared to their peers in other cities and states.

And with them striking, they are failing to do their jobs as educators.

They could be teaching and strike at the end of the school year, but no...

The whole lot needs fired and replaced!!!

16% raise over 4 years!!??
Sure! It's about education!
"Educating" the people about who has the power over our children and future!


When the two sides met at the bargaining table, money was only part of the problem. With an average salary of $76,000, Chicago teachers are among the highest-paid in the nation. After weeks of talks, the district proposed a 16 percent raise over four years, including bumps for experience and education — and far beyond what most American employers have offered in the aftermath of the Great Recession.
