Pension debate inside. Rally outside. | Fred Klonsky:


Pension debate inside. Rally outside.

The Daily Herald and corporate group Reboot Illinois sponsored a forum on the state’s public employee pension debt at Harper College in Palatine last night. Tickets to the event were carefully distributed. But many teacher pension activist got inside.
S0eaking were state representative pension bombers Elaine Nekritz and Tom Morrison. IEA President Cinda Klickna represented the state’s public employee union leadership.
Outside Northern Illinois Jobs with Justice gathered teacher and other union members for a rally prior to the forum. I’d say there were 75 to 100 of us.
I was one of the speakers outside.
