Chicago Teachers to go on Strike

[Q-C]

"The looming strike in the nation's third largest school system -- the first in 25 years -- will affect nearly 700 schools and about 400,000 students, including some from neighborhoods struggling with crime and gang problems. The union itself has about 30,000 members."

Sorry to hear it. Not surprised but still I think it's unfortunate. It will be interesting to see how Mayor Rahm handles the crisis.
