Chicago Teachers Union Leaders Herald Walkout Plan with Membership
This week, the governing body of the Chicago Teachers' Union is expected to vote on a potential one-day strike that could happen on April 1st. Many are torn because taking action could mean a disruption in school for children within the district. In a statement, the Chicago Public Schools announced that it will withhold pay for any teachers that are not in work on April 1st. This could be as much as $10 million in pay if every teacher doesn't report to work.
