Chicago Charter School Teachers Fight for Union

Chicago Public Radio reports:

Labor leaders are rallying this afternoon in support of teachers at three charter schools who’ve formed a union. If they’re recognized by the state, they’ll be the first unionized charter school teachers in Chicago.

This is a big deal for teacher unions, who’ve argued that charter schools are an attempt to bust unions.

The president of the American Federation of Teachers flew to Chicago to rally teachers today.

It's time to separate education from state.
