- Chicago teachers have shown their solidarity in massive numbers. More than 90 percent of teachers have given the OK for a work stoppage, multiple sources told NBC Chicago.
That number is well above the 75 percent needed, by law, to authorize a strike.
Chicago Teachers Union spokesman Stephanie Gadlin declined to provide an official number but said that some schools have seen 100 percent of teacher approve a strike.
Looks like a long summer ahead for Rahm. He finally pissed off enough of one group to unite behind a cause. Now if he tries his fancy bullshit, all Lewis has to do is pull the trigger.
