Hollywood Writers aren't the Only Strikers!!!

Listen, Hollywood is not the ONLY place in the United States with LABOR UNREST...

Teachers in Palatine-based Township High School District 211 edged to the brink of a strike Wednesday night, approving what they said was the union's final offer in a dispute with district officials.

The union said teachers will report to school Thursday and wait to see what happens at a closed-door School Board meeting Thursday night. If the board does not approve a deal, a strike will begin Friday, a union spokesman said.

Dave Comerford, a Springfield staffer with the Illinois Federation of Teachers, acknowledged that the difference in salary positions between the union and the board is small—the sides are less than a half-percent apart on raises in the second year of a two-year deal—but said the union needs to take a stand in light of concessions made in previous years.


Thats: Rolling Meadows, IL, Elk Grove Village, IL Schaumburg, IL. Yeah. My guess is that the teachers cave. Right?
