Not only that, it was a War on Unions. And all over the country this week, people came out in solidarity with the CTU and more every day. Even as far away as Canada. Because is about finally standing up against the Corporatization of America part of which requires the crushing of Unions and the flat-lining or worse, cut backs in American Workers' salaries to make them more in line with Third World countries, for the benefit of the Corps bottom line.
This is bigger than just the Teachers and the Public Schools, this a Labor issue and the more they try to bully Workers, they more opposition they are going to get from now on.
They nearly got away with it, but now the people are finally waking up and standing up.
