A Message to Chicago Teachers from JC on the Strike Vote
Dear Teacher,
Earlier this evening, I emailed you requesting that you reconsider voting yes in the strike authorization vote in our schools beginning Wednesday, June 6. I have it on very good authority that many of you did not heed my missive and in fact some of you have even taken to openly mocking it on forums and on Facebook. I am asking you again to reconsider and this time the gloves are off.
I told you already about SB7. This legislation was carefully crafted by very wealthy people both inside and out of the state to crush your union and take away your ability to strike. Frankly, we never even thought there was an outside chance that you could hit 50% in a strike vote. You may have seen the Jonah Edelman video going around where
