Related: About this forumwhat the chicago teachers won (comparative chart from ctu)
http://www.ctunet.com/for-members/strike-central/text/Board-Proposals-Summary-Comparison.pdfTwo of the more interesting points to me:
1) Rahm's initial offer took out all mentions of caps on class size from the contract (something i never saw mentioned in the media). Teachers got caps put back in (though not reduced).
2) Rahm wanted a 5-year contract, assuring labor peace until *after* the next election. Teachers got their three-year contract, putting the next contract negotiations in the middle of the next election. Smooth.

Figuratively speaking, of course.
You're kinder than I. You left him one.

(2,663 posts)8. You guys are assuming that Rahm actually *has* testicles.
My theory is that he doesn't, which is what makes him such a mean-spirited, megalomaniacal bastard.

What of his should have been included in that agreement, then?

But you never know.
I can't figure out how these people keep getting elected in Chicago, frankly.
I complain about New Yorkers. But... good god.... that's quite a political system that's evolved in the windy city. If the pols aren't in jail they're "reforming" education.
Not just locally; *nationally*.
Aren't we lucky.
