This article discusses the Chicago Teachers Union’s recent vote to authorize a strike. If the strike were to happen, it would be the second strike in three years. Civic Federation President Laurence Msall explained that the District’s current pension obligations are unsustainable. The Civic Federation did not support FY2016 Chicago Public Schools budget because it relied on $480 million in State funding that had not been appropriated.
