The in box. Those who crafted SB7 regret not making it even more union busting.

Fred,

I’m sure those who crafted SB7 just regret not making it even more union busting. I’m sure they wish they’d called for a 99% threshold for a strike vote. I’m sure they wished they’d specified that Michelle Rhee or Jonah Edelman as the fact finder. I’m sure they don’t think this was a failure of strategy as much as a tactical error. They underestimated the solidarity of teachers and parents against things like a completely unfunded extended day.

It’s a good reminder to call your aldermen TODAY and MONDAY morning to let them know you want them to support the advisory referendum to allow Chicagoans to vote to have an Elected School Board in CPS – no more top-down mandates – no more taxation without representation.
