Chicago mayor set to take legal action over teachers strike
- 12 years ago
The mayor of Chicago, Rahm Emanuel, has said he will take legal action to put an end to a teachers strike that began on the 10th September. The teachers are furious that despite working in poor, overcrowded schools, the mayor wants to link their pay to the performance of their pupils. While the two sides fight it out, some 350,000 children are being affected. Al Jazeera's John Hendren reports from Chicago.
