But still...what about pressuring the Gov. to say he'll consider a tax swap next time around? What about pressuring him to make some of the vague proposals from his Meeks plan more specific? Nope. Nunna that. All they got, far as I can tell, is the "hope" that the Gov will do better by education next time around:
"Chicago Teachers Union President Marilyn Stewart stated that her membership’s endorsement is based on the hope that the Governor will finally address the crucial issue of school funding during a second term in office. She added that the governor’s voting record on labor issues far exceeds that of his Republican opponent, Treasurer Judy Barr Topinka."
Please read the whole post here.
Looking at the highlighted text got me to thinking...will the UPC be "hoping" that CPS will make concessions?
Will they "hope" the mayor will give teachers a raise, is there "hope" he will bring charter school staff into the union fold?
What is UPC "hoping" for regarding the new contract?

So they should have endorsed Topinka?
