Wear red on Wednesday to show support for Chicago Teachers strike
September 11th, 2012 | Posted by in Events | News - (0 Comments) 
Late Sunday night, the Chicago Teachers Union went on strike. This came after months of intense negotiations that continued until the last hours before the strike deadline. Today, teachers, educational support personnel and community members throughout Chicago walk together on picket lines to continue to demand a contract that provides the best for students, respects educators and their work, and treats them as true partners. Despite ongoing efforts over the past weekend to reach an agreement, the CTU and the district remain divided on core issues like the best way to improve instruction, and how to ensure job security and fair compensation for educators.
Show your support for the CTU and strong public schools in Chicago by wearing red on Wednesday, Sept. 12.
