Chicago Teachers Union Seeks to Unionize Teachers at Charter Schools

http://chicagopublicradio.org/CityRoom_Story.aspx?storyID=12747

There are 30 charter schools in Chicago, and the head of the teacher's union for Chicago public schools is hoping to unionize their staff. Appearing before a gathering of 30 teachers from various schools in the city, Chicago Teachers Union President Marilyn Stewart assured them that she is encouraging, not forcing a union. "If they're looking to organize as I said, you know, we'll help them. So, I would just encourage them and if they are not doing anything wrong, don't be afraid of it."
