PHOTOS/CTU

 
In late September, 94% of the teachers authorized the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) to strike. This photo at Hearst Elementary shows support staff from SEIU Local 73 also ready to walk out. As many as 35,000 public sector workers in schools and parks are set to walk out in a coordinated strike. The CTU House of Delegates set a strike date of October 17 when they met October 2. Teachers are striking for contract language to get a nurse, a librarian, and social worker in every school, and for smaller class size. Years of disinvestment have stripped the schools of these services.
