Building Bridges: Your Community & Labor Report
National Edition
Produced by Mimi Rosenberg & Ken Nash
************
What Chicago Teachers Taught Us
With
Kimberly Bowsky, Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) rank and file
activist, member of CORE, Council of Rank and File Educators
and the CTU House of Delegates
and
Brian Jones, former NYC public elementary school teacher, now
pursuing a doctorate in urban education, co-narrator of the film
“The Inconvenient Truth Behind Waiting for Superman” and
contributor to the book “Education and Capitalism: Struggles
for Learning and Liberation”
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has a tentative agreement. Some
have proclaimed the strike as the biggest and most inspiring union victory
since the 1997 UPS Teamsters strike. While it clearly demonstrates the
resilience of unions and the viability of the traditional strike tactic, it also
raises the limitations of what even the best led unions can accomplish
through collective bargaining alone today. What are the lessons of the
CTU strike for N.Y.C.'s school personnel and its students, and for teacher’s
unions and public workers across the country facing challenges to their
very existence?
