You mean I'm going to have to find new epithets besides scumsucking hyperflatulent communist butt-kissing suckup toady?
Obama wanted it over!
Obama wanted it over!
They were smart. They timed this thing to create maximum trouble for Obama in his re-election campaign. No doubt he called up Rahm and told him “whatever they want, just GIVE IT TO THEM and make this go away!” Could maybe have milked it for even more if the Mooslims did not come along and blow them off the front page.
Is my cynicism showing?
That is, until the precedent, that a strike will get you anything you want from Rahm is realized. And then there will be more strikes and more people hurt especially tax payers.
Hey but they elected a democrat. What'd you expect?
Of course the government teachers win.
What did anyone expect to happen?
I am just wondering where the “Amen Chorus” that continually wants to find a way to cut California loose is today? We may have it bad here in California, but Illinois is the clear leader in the looney Left’s destructive acts. I guess it baffles all of you as to how to “carve out Illinois” from the rest of the country because it isn’t on a coast. You all need to get creative all of you who are “huddled in Texas.”
Chicagoans deserve this. But they should be made to pay for it themselves.
Condrags Chicago, your worst performing teachers are now the highest paid in the county, good job! Can’t wait to see all the new employers rushing to Chicago to hire all those can’t read, can’t write, can’t think students yall graduate every year. Oh and how many were murdered today in your fare city? Chicago the new Detroit.
The students should go on strike.
Those teachers are the lowest performing and most overpaid teachers in the country.
Rahm doesn’t mind spending YOUR money
This was all staged by the Democrats. Rahm appears to be a tough negotiator and the unions go marching around. Then, after considerable soundbites, management capitulates, the stupid teachers getting everything they wanted and the taxpayers are left holding the bag together with their illiterate children. Support the status quo.
Union boss: See we would have never gotten this with the Republicans.
Actually, this is how Detroit became Detroit.
The more the Left ‘wins” in taxation and cultural cleansing, the better the guarentee is that Chicago will fall.
Talk of this is racist, since only about 9 percent of the students affected were white. The strike and the whining teachers were racist, and our talking about the striking, whining teachers is racist, and our talking about that fudge stick Rahm is homophobic. So there. Least we want to be investigated by Holder, and terrorized by Muslims, we should speak no more of this.
Heard this on the radio, so I can not vouch for accuracy. Chicago has 35k teachers and 350k students. By simple arithmetic, that’s 10 students per teacher.
I doubt that Chicago classrooms look like that. Suppose there are 20 students per teacher. That would require 17.5k teachers.
So, what are the extra 17.5k teachers who are not teaching actually doing?
Saw Kruathammer on FOX the other day. He was alone in predicting the teachers union would win in Chicago.
A real leader would have fired them all on day one of the strike.
To hell with public unionized employees.
