Chicago Teachers One-Day Walkout

Over 10,000 teachers and supporters—including transit workers, nurses and SEIU union members, as well as parents and students—turned out for a one-day strike and rally on April 1. With the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) rank and file working without a contract since June 2015 and itching to fight, the union bureaucrats conducted this limited action in lieu of a real strike. The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) administration is now threatening the CTU with reprisals for the one-day action. Hands off the CTU! For a solid strike against the cutbacks demanded by the CPS, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Governor Bruce Rauner!
