In corporatized Chicago, this IS what democracy looks like.
9AM Wednesday morning.
The Chicago Teachers Union, in response to Rahm Emanuel’s school board shredding the bargained agreement for a 4% pay raise next year, has called for a picket line at the CPS headquarters at 125 S. Clark Street.
By 9:15 the line circles the block twice. One circle going clockwise. The other circle going counter-clockwise.
“This is what democracy looks like!”
The slogan suddenly has a double meaning.
Democracy is certainly teachers in the street demanding what was promised and bargained.
In Rahm Emanuel’s corporatized Chicago, democracy is also public school teachers having their pay raises
