Teachers in Chicago School Strike Deserve Respect - Susan Milligan (usnews.com)

Teachers in Chicago School Strike Deserve Respect - Susan Milligan (usnews.com): " And what is often forgotten, in the resentment of public sector salaries, is that it has been unions that set the labor standards for all of us. The weekend? The 40-hour workweek? It was unions that got those established as a general standard. Cutting salaries for public-sector workers would indeed ease the pressure on government budgets, but it also lower the standard for the workforce as a whole. If public salaries go down, private sector compensation will follow."
