Teachers in the nation's third-largest school district are inching closer to a strike that could happen as early as next month.
The union wants a nurse and librarian at every school, more social workers and class size limits that are strictly enforced. On health insurance, the district says a rollback would be difficult because of rising costs. It has proposed increasing the amount employees contribute to their health coverage in the last two years of its proposed five-year contract.
The union says the raises don't benefit all educators across the board and that some support staff still earn low wages. Both sides say they have made progress on sanctuary policies but have work to do on health care, staffing and class sizes. If an agreement isn't reached, the union will take a strike vote starting Sept. 24. If at least 75 percent approve it, teachers could walk off the job on Oct. 7.The clash with the union is one of Mayor Lori Lightfoot's first major tests after taking office this year.

Tell em to take some time off to battle globalwarming then the students can go push the teachers and globalist agenda indoctrinationeducation
unions are the problem with public education. Our kids are educated by teachers that cannot be removed for lack of performance. teaching is a calling not a job, our future depends on it. charter schools are the solution
A second year teacher making $72,000 a year! Wow! All states should follow this model!
All about the money, not about education.
Demand: We want more teachers, librarians, nurses. Demand: We want more money each. We want free stuff! Are these really teachers or just failed math students?
Close all public schools
All public school teachers are worthless. They don't work the summer, they fill our kids heads with liberal garbage, they expect pensions and all kinds of kickbacks, and then expect to get paid 70k or more a year? Give me a freaking break. Fire them all and break up the unions.
Teachers, stand your ground. Hell, everybody who isn't earning a living wage, stand your ground.
They want to be paid like ewarren was when teaching one class!
Greedy thugs.
Liberals vs liberals
yep. jobs, jobs, jobs.... so much winning....
You know, there’s been a lot of strikes lately. Why can’t people be grateful they have a job?
