The resolution reads:
RESOLVED that the House of Delegates shall set a strike date of September 10, 2012.
The strike is necessary to achieve a labor contract with acceptable wages, benefits and job protections; and for all other purposes for which a strike is authorized under law. The strike is also necessary to protest unfair labor practices committed by CPS against our membership.
