Chicago Teachers Strike

Monday, 10 September 2012 | by Pat's Picks

The Chicago Tribune reports on the city’s first teacher strike in 25 years this morning. Union representatives spent all day Sunday trying to hash out a deal but were unsuccessful. The main areas of contention are centered around the cost of health benefits, how teachers are evaluated and job security. Until an agreement, a fraction of the schools will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. around the city.
