LOL

Rham wanted to hire more teachers, but the union wanted to make the existing faculty work longer hours.

Chicago teachers average about $76,000 a year plus benefits and a private pension giving them about $46,000 a year (no Soc. Sec.)
Chicago teachers wanted approx. a 30% increase and were offered 16%

This is in a district where the average income of the people that pay their salarys is about $46,000 a year....

As the Chicago teachers’ strike continues, we’ve learned that they make $71-76,000 a year and they turned down a 16% pay increase, which amounts to $11,360. They work nine months out of the year, but say that this strike is benefits oriented. However, given that ABC World News didn’t even air this story last Sunday and most of the media, with the exception of CBS, failing to mention the compensation statistics in their broadcast – suffice to say that the media will probably ignore the fact that almost 40% of Chicago’s public school teachers send their kids to private schools.

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS has data from May 2011 for the Chicago metropolitan area that breaks down the average salary for teachers. Across the profession, teachers in the area were earning an average salary of $56,720. Keep in mind that a median salary would probably be a more accurate picture of what teachers actually earn (veteran teacher salaries will be dragging the number upwards) but that this number is not available. The number is also dragged upward because a number of university staff are included in this calculation (they earn more than public school teachers). We spoke with a BLS official earlier today to confirm the veracity of these numbers.

If you look at the different subsets of teachers, some earn as little an average salary as $44,480 (foreign language teachers). Also keep in mind that the cost of food and living is well above the U.S. average in Chicago."

This is all about the fascist right's never ending attempt to bust all unionized labor in this country and to drive down wages and increase corporate power.
Your cheap labor anti-worker, anti-middle class plans are clear.

The average teacher salary in Chicago was $74,839 for the 2011-2012 school year, according to the district.

Average salaries are based on full-time equivalents (FTE). Salaries and counts of staff are summed across a district based on the percentage of time that each individual is employed as an administrator or a teacher. These averages allow for comparisons among districts.

Cost to the school district and cost to the taxpayers is what is pertinent.....

almost 40% of Chicago’s public school teachers send their kids to private schools.

Awwwwwwwwwwww...let's all watch the petty Righties playing the "class warfare" game...playing on people's petty jealousies.

Oh my yes let's all get up in arms over the PRINCELY SALARY of $75,000 a year that SOME Chicago area teachers make.

It's just so unfair that teachers get paid SO MUCH!

For working for 3/4 of the year, that is a top 10% average salary. Also, it is not 'some' that are making it. That is an AVERAGE salary. Comprehend what you read and you may not make such a fool of yourself in the future.

The Bureau of Labor statistics reports the average teacher salary is $56,720. It has been overstated by critics.

the average salary means nothing. It's demanding MORE when they've been offered a generous increase.
Union people are greedy mutherfuckers

Well until you can prove that all teachers spend the three months there is no school vacationing in Tahiti and sipping mimosas 24/7, you're just another fool spouting class warfare nonsense.

And yes, when the AVERAGE salary is $75,000 a year, then SOME make $75,000.

SOME make MORE...and SOME make LESS.

I would think a "bright" guy like you might be sharp enough to get that...apparently I was wrong and you weren't.
