- Tomorrow is day 11 of the Waukegan teacher strike.
- Waukegan teachers, "It's not about the money -- it's about respect." Letter from Waukegan union president Kathy Schwarz (via Fred Klonsky) http://ow.ly/CZVhm
- The Board of Education still has yet to attend one negotiations session and the contract expired on 6/30/14.
- On Wednesday, the Union gave the District administrators negotiating the contract a break from negotiations to take the time to regroup, reflect, meet with the Board to come up with a serious proposal to present to the Union. Negotiations have been constantly stalled by the District breaking to ask the Board for permission to sign off on proposals.
- The community continues to support the Union, and the Union's team and rank-and-file members spent the weekend reaching out to churches and community organizations to tell its side of the story. They make a strong coalition that is becoming stronger through this struggle.
- Today Waukegan teachers, parents and students march in solidarity to the District office.
- Tomorrow night (Monday October 20th), let's rally online with a social media storm. From 7-9 PM, tweet your support with the hashtag #WaukeganStrong.
- Let's make this trend and show the world that we support teachers!
