While Chicago Public School teachers are still out on strike, teachers at a nearby suburb are planning their own collective action. Teachers in the suburb, Addison, have filed their intent to strike notice with plans to strike as soon as Thursday. Addison teachers have not had a contract since the beginning of the academic year, despite union efforts. According to union leadership, Addison teachers are struggling to achieve better pay and benefits.
