Chicago teachers in North Shore School District 112 will be voting today to determine whether or not they would like to authorize a strike, in response to delayed contract negotiations. The past contract expired in the middle of August, and despite the help of a federal mediator, negotiations have yet to yield a satisfactory contract. Teachers are dissatisfied with the way that the district has asked them to use their minimal planning time, and with their pay increases, as well.
