Union Logic

The Chicago Teacher's Union demanded more money. And oh yeah, they
wanted something intangible for the students. BUT they wanted more money.

So the City of Chicago finally agreed. The union had won the first round.

Now Chicago is closing schools in order to pay for the salary increases.
That is the only way to pay for the increases. The city is billions in debt and
owes more for city and teach workers' pensions.

How does closing schools pay for the teachers' salary increase.

Simple. The city gets to 'lay-off'' teachers. That saves salaries and
saves pension money.

So who really won? The teachers or the unions?
Neither won. Many teachers will lose their jobs.
The union will lose the month union dues.

That's union logic.

And that's the way I see it...
