The Chicago Tribune editorial board has an editorial on the greed of the union bosses in public education at the Chicago Public School(CPS) system:
Rare is the workplace that hasn't resorted to pay cuts or freezes in recent years. But CPS teachers have enjoyed 4 percent raises every year since 2000, and 3 percent or higher since 1995. The last time they didn't get a raise was 1994. And despite the board's action Wednesday, 75 percent of teachers still will get raises next year because they qualify for increases based on years of service or advanced degrees.
To the Chicago teachers union boss Karen Lewis this is
slavery:
"I don't believe in slavery on any level. I don't believe we should work for free. Ever. And we're not going to," said Lewis.
Got that? You probably don't get this kind of deal if you work in the private sector. Who knew slavery was a 4% increase a year for 10 years??? Wouldn't it be more accurate to describe Chicago taxpayers as the
slaves?
