Teachers in Chicago walked off the job Monday after contract negotiations fell through, leaving 400,000 students in the nation's third-largest district shut out of their classrooms.

Contract talks broke down late last night and by Monday morning Chicago public school teachers, many wearing red t-shirts and carrying signs, picketed around the city for the first time in a quarter century.

Cruel Summer.
 
If officials like Rahm Emanuel sent their kids to public schools, the system wouldn't be in shambles.

ever since the change to the new platform you've been dying to go on one of your racist rants, yet you've been trying to behave to avoid getting banned again. Its all a matter of time before your racist @$# shows its true colors so just do us a favor and get it over with.

Breaking this dispute down to its simplest terms, the Board has exer-

cised its authority to impose a sea change driven by the substantial lengthen-

ing of the school day and year, with the expectation that the employees will

work those additional hours (approximately 20% more) for free or without fair

compensation for the additional work. The employees will not do that and

should not be expected to do that. For its part, the Union is coming off an ex-

tremely lucrative contract for the employees for the period 2007-2012 — even

with the 4% wage increase withheld for 201 l-2012 — as its terms were negoti-

ated prior to the devastation caused by the Great Recession. The Union cannot

ignore the fact that its membership immensely benefited from the terms of that

lucrative contract and cannot expect the same type of benefits to continue

when the economic conditions are far worse now than when the 2007-2012

Agreement was negotiated.
