An angry Mayor Rahm Emanuel appealed to courts to end a six day strike by the teachers which are keeping about 350,000 kids out of class. However, it might not matter by the time the courts decide to move on the issue because the teachers are considering to end the strike. Many of the teachers think the tentative labor contract isn’t a bad idea. “This was an enormously successful strike (thus far)," said Emily Rosenberg, director of the Labor Education Center at DePaul University in Chicago. "I've never seen solidarity like this among teachers.”
