A strike by nurses and special education classroom aides that began on Monday was ended today when a Cook County judge issued a temporary restraining order that banned over one hundred members of the Educational Support Personnel Association union from partaking in the strike. At least 130 of the 454 employees who participated in Monday’s ongoing walk-out were ordered back to work, due to concerns about public health and safety outlined in the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act. Contract negotiations culminated in a deal that triggered the union to call for Monday’s strike—sticking points include wages, sick leave, and retirement incentives.
