Don't fucking strike. Negotiate. It's not like they don't get paid without the union deal.

I believe McHenry is about to strike, as well.

I was a HS teacher for 3.5 years. It's a good way to make a living, but you have to look at it in terms of a marathon,not a sprint. There are a handful of higher paying districts but those are the minority. Teachers generally do not make a ton of money at first, but over the long haul, different story. A teacher with a Master's degree starts banking really nice money by year 20 and usually get good incentive to retire at 55. they retire well, but there are years in the beginning where earning is on the low-scale.

Teachers, Police, Fireman, and all other public service jobs.....they are chosen professions. They have options. I have very little sympathy. I did it for a few years and quickly saw it wasn't how I wanted to spent the rest of my professional life.
