Title

Loyola Phoenix: History in the making: Chicago Teachers Union employees strike for the first time in 25 years

Description

Strikers hold up signs calling for fair wage during the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) employees' strike.

The caption reads: Protestors at Tuesday's CTU Rally - Teacher-support rallies continued near Buckingham Fountain on Tuesday. Many students were there supporting teachers. The girl's sign reads, "I love and support my teachers and school nurse!"

The Loyola Phoenix article contained details of a Loyola alumna's experiences being on strike, Loyola students' involvement in the rally and the effect of the strike on students at Loyola's School of Education, who were given new schools to teach at. Loyola's strike policy was to not cross the picket line.
