Teachers in Chicago went on strike Monday for the first time in 25 years in a bitter dispute with Mayor Rahm Emanuel about teacher evaluations tied to student test scores, a longer school day and other education policy changes, issues that reverberated across the country because they are hotly debated from Hawaii to Maine.
The fact that the fight revolves around Emanuel, a former chief of staff to President Obama, has pushed the municipal labor fight into prime time and complicated the political calculus. Obama is relying heavily on the support of unions in his re-election bid, and the Chicago strike immediately figured into the landscape of this fall’s political campaigns.
