    The Unions War On Children

    Teachers walk out in Chicago closing schools. Teachers in Chicago are already either the highest or 2nd highest paid teachers in the country.

    Why do they hate children so much??

    Yep. One side is the highest paid teachers in the country. The other side offered them a 16% pay raise over 4 years that could not be rescinded for lack of funds while facing a $1 billion dollar deficit at the end of the school year....

    How is that? If you refuse to meet your employee demands you are complicit in the strike?

    Sounds like those evaluations were a major concern to teachers.

    Yeah, after your frothing attack on all things republican during the "Walker Recall" thread, I'm surprised you're not shouting for democrats in Chicago to be put to the stake. If anything, this shows just how greedy unions have become. They are now "THE HAVES" of our society and are draining this country dry along with the other near-do-wells sucking off the gov't teet.

    The war thing may be getting tired, but we ARE talking about Chicago here.

    I agree that this thread title contains unnecessary political rhetoric. Therefore, as rules stipulate, one shirtless Tim Tebow (who was booed by Jets fans yesterday hehe)


    As for the striking teachers, Rahm Emmanuel has never been one to compromise and is quite abrasive, so I can understand why there's a fight going on between him and teachers.

    From the teachers' point of view, they have had to deal with budget cutbacks, layoffs and demands to work a longer school day (Chicago's were among the shortest in the country before Rahm extended them by hiring more teachers).

    The Chicago school system is broke and broken, in other words.

    Unions serve their place, although they're not perfect. Any organization can have corruption.
