UPDATE: Way back on 9/11/06 I said this:
To save $3,ooo, a teacher would have to save $125 a pay period for the next 24 checks they receive. For $4,000, the amount goes to $167 for the next 24 pay periods.Now it is 7 pay periods later. We only have 17 pay periods left before we need our own strike fund in our bank accounts.
How much do you need to save between now and then? To have $3000, you need to save $176 every two weeks. To have $4000, you need to save $235 every two weeks.
Why isn't our union telling us to do this?

Tip of the hat to ya.
What made you pick "it" up on the winds three months ago?
Basically, it comes down to what could the UPC (union faction currently in power) run on but a strike?
They have no record to speak of.
They came in after the last contract was done and so have no record in that area.
Charters have grown at a surprising rate, coupled with school closings, teacher displacement, etc.
Union membership is down significantly since they came to power.
Add to that a furtive nature...inking deals in secret with management (a little transparency would help).
I just don't think the group in place can get the job done that must be done.
So a strike seemed likely.
