Chicago teachers strike for first time in 25 years; contingency sites ready, charters remain open - Chicago Sun-Times

This is why people just don't give an f about public unions any more. They think they can get grossly over compensated and hold us hostage at any moment.
I didn't see where it said they offered them 16 percent more money but with doubling of their work hours and work load 16 % would be a pay cut.
I'm pretty sure that 16 percent is the base (not including extra hours). But it doesn't matter b/c 16 percent is just what was offered. They demand 35 percent when the rest of us can't even find jobs.
