They did it "for the children".
To: Uncle Chip
The unions accepted the contract offered by the city.
They buckled...

Someone from the State Finance Office probably whispered in Karen Lewis’ ear “ Illinois is BROKE. Take what they offered.”
Can’t wait to hear em bitch about the week they will need to make up.

Don’t kid yourself...They did it for Obama....just like nice little minions....overpaid mooches.....
To: Uncle Chip
concluding an episode that put President Obama in a bind between siding with a major labor union in his hometown and Rahm Emanuel, his former chief of staff and the current mayor of Chicago. As opposed to the 350,000 students and their parents. It was between his supporters, screw the students and their families. Just like Obama's reaction to the 4 murders in Lybia... Obama called it a tough day. Or the people who claimed the SEAL raid on Bin Laden was risky... For the President!
Everything is always about him.

To: sargon
Not really. The contract offered was a cave-in by Emmanuel. What was going on was that the more radical union members thought Emmanuel ought to cave some more. What a bunch of tools.
Wiser heads (??????) in the union convinced the idiots that a cave-in-the-hand was worth three caves in the bush.
To: sargon
And the upshot is that the taxpayers got screwed again.
This is not news.
To: Uncle Chip
Poor kids, the ignorant fat pig “teachers” with double digit IQs are coming back to indoctrinate them them into permanent stupidity, mediocrity, and dependence.

The whole thing was a setup for Obama to ride in on his white horse and save the day, but Rush called him on it on Day One and neutered it.

To: Houghton M.
I heard before the weekend that the offer was 16% payraise over 4 years and student tests making up 40% of teacher evaluations.
After weekend negotiations the contract on the table was 7% payraise over 4 years and student tests making up 30% of teacher evaluations.
I think the teachers saw the writing on the blackboard and the uselessness of further negotiations.
To: Uncle Chip
Horrible reporting. Not one word about the terms of the settlement.
And if the terms were not available, the article writer should have said so.

EXACTOMUNDO!

Now Rahm, close some of those non-productive schools and throw those teachers into the unemployment line. Serves those leeches right.

To: wetgundog
Before the strike started I read that they were closing 120 schools or 20% of Chicago’s 600 schools and they were opening up 60 Magnet Schools staffed with non-union teachers.
To: Artie
the union got most of what they wanted....don't worry too much about them....
now, they'll proably have to start closing schools down to save money elsewhere......you know those teachers....they always do things for the "kids"...
