[QUOTE="804brown, post: 1024788, member: 29553"] I cant wait til we go on strike next year and have to hear in the corporate media: "what are they striking for?? They make about $80K a year plus benefits!!" You ALL know the reason we would be on the streets: holding on to what we already have while UPS demands concessions. UPS saying : We have to remain "competetive" and the union saying: you made $5 BILLION last year its a matter of fairness. Bubbleheads in the media will surely start every sentence with: "But you have to think,in this economy, ..." The Chicago teachers have courageously defied the gang-up of both corporate-controlled parties—the Democrats and Republicans—together with the media and the financial elite. They are fighting not just for their own jobs, living standards and working conditions, important as that is. They are fighting for principles: the defense of public schools and the right of young people to a decent education. [/QUOTE]
