Chicago Sun-Times: State may limit teachers’ ability to strike
Chicago is one of just a handful of large urban school districts that allows its teachers to strike, and a movement is afoot to change that.
Teachers and school officials are in talks now; the contract expired June 30. Both sides say little progress has been made, fueling fears about a strike as the new school year approaches.
A proposal is making the rounds in Springfield to make it harder for Chicago teachers to vote to strike. Now, a deadlocked Chicago Teachers Union could strike after it has tried mediation and given school officials a 10-day notice.
