Ready, Set, Strike...

It is Monday aaanndd now the first official day of the Chicago Teachers Union strike. I have mixed feelings about this, as both sides seem to angrily polarize the other and dig in their heels. On the one hand, I want to be a teacher, and might one day legally support the union, but on the other hand, I realize that fair negotiations having anything to do with Chicago politics is a often tall order to ask for :). The press will likely slam the teachers and the teachers will slam the press. The kids, on the other hand? Will have no formal class today...Best of luck today, Ray, dealing with this craziness! Here is the showdown: Karen Lewis (CTU) vs. Mayor Rahm Emmanuel (CPS)
