FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement from Rebeca Nieves-Huffman, State Director of Democrats for Education Reform Illinois, on a Potential Strike in 2015

“With the safety and education of thousands of Chicago children on the line, a strike should be the last possible resort – not a political tactic. The parents sending their children to Chicago’s schools should never be made to feel as though their kids are political pawns, but Karen Lewis always seems to put their interests second to her attempts to boost her own image. We hope union leadership will focus more on ensuring the contract puts the futures of Chicago’s children first – that should be the primary mission of any responsible education advocate.”
