Dear Colleagues.
If you get a chance to read this email before dressing for work for Monday, please consider wearing red on Monday in solidarity with the Chicago Teachers Union, Local #1 AFT. Chicago has had a terrible time during their negotiations and tomorrow could be their first strike day or it could be the start of a new settlement. Read a quick blurb by Diane Ravitch posted below:
In Solidarity,
Ari Klein, CHTU President
I will be wearing red in solidarity with the Chicago Teachers Union tomorrow, in support of whatever decision they make. If they should strike, they have my support. If they don’t, they also have my support. I am not giving my support unthinkingly or blindly. I support their right to bargain collectively. Knowing Karen Lewis, I believe she has the best interests of the children of Chicago in her heart. I believe in her and I believe in the teachers of Chicago
