Strike of Choice
Every strike is a strike of choice. Moreover, given projected budget deficits and with pension plans even deeper in the hole, the 16% raise offer was actually far too generous.
The ideal approach by mayor Rahm Emanuel would look something like this.
Immediately fire all 25,000 teachers, disband the union, and kill defined benefit pension plans
Offer teachers their jobs back with a zero percent pay raise with three days to decide
For each day beyond three, the city would reduce its offer to teachers by $2,000 a day
Offer generous relocation expenses to those willing to come to Chicago to teach
Offer substitute teachers full-time jobs
It is time to break the back of the insidious grip public unions have on the state of Illinois. There is no better place than Chicago to start.

Was the strike legal?
We at IPI believed it was not. We’ll never have the chance to have a court rule on this question, but if CTU didn’t violate the letter of the law, they certainly violated the spirit of the law. Evaluations in particular were supposed to be set in a process that was separate from collective bargaining, but CTU used the strike to force the administration to rewrite and water down evaluations. That wasn’t what CPS called for, and CPS is supposed to have the final say. But that’s what CTU got – from the strike.
