Chicago Teacher’s Union plans strike despite being offered 16% raise

Already among the highest paid in the nation.....if they accepted the deal offered by the city, the average teacher’s salary would approach $100,000.
Is it in the best interest of the students and parents for teachers to go on strike as directed by Jessie Jackson?

If the Chicago Teachers Union accepts the city’s current offer, the average teacher salary will approach six figures by the end of a five-year contract, according to city estimates.
But if union members take the deal now, they’ll lose a significant bargaining chip in their play for other central demands, like more school nurses, social workers and librarians. And they’ll lose some of their power to strike — as they plan to do on Oct. 17 unless they settle a new contract first.

After doing personal tax returns and school district audits in Illinois, I really wished I had gone into teaching. The state pension there is insane.

Equivalent to a salary of $150,000 of a full time, 12 month a year job

So my wife and I would make about $200k/year, work 190 days, have sweet insurance, and a defined pension plan?
Internets say an individual needs $44k/year to live in Chicago. With a wife and two kids, using that number as a quick estimate, we need $176k/year to survive the Windy City.

They are on the fast track to bankruptcy. They pay all government employees exorbitantly high salaries. Then when they early retire they all leave and go to a low tax state, where it isn’t balls cold, and spend all of their money there.

May as well mention the 2.5-3 weeks at Christmas/ New Year's, a week at Spring break, and then the ones that most employees get. NOT TO MENTION, here at least, of the 22 days on average per month, they don't actually teach in the classrooms 2 of those days... Planning days and such.

Our union here in Wichita is retarded and I feel like we’re not far off from a strike here within the next couple years. I’m gonna be the lone buffoon showing up to work just to say frick em.

Who it’s not 2 days off. At least in Wichita anyway. We get like one paid no student day every other month.

the students and parents
Teaching is a job, a 4 letter word: W O R K. If the Parents and students will not care, then at the end of the work day I wholly support teachers "clocking out" and going about their own lives.
In Chicago (and some other areas) Teacher Pay should at least be equal to Prison Guard pay. Even Prison Guards have more leeway in their interactions with those inmates than teachers do.
However, in the end, it's a choice those teachers make. Don't like the pay, find another job. The teachers know when they sign the contract what they are getting.

Base the raise on student performance. Oh, never mind it’s a union.
