Teachers
On Strike
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The first major strike of the
new school year began today as
teachers began manning picket
lines at Chicago’s 600 public
schools, forcing the cancellation
of the first day of classes
Supt.-elect Joseph P. Hannon
announced that schools would
be shut for some 530,000 pupils.
His decision was made in the
wake of Tuesday’s 21,439-2,537
vote by teachers favoring
strike.
A negotiating session was
scheduled for today.
Key issues in the dispute in-
cluded salaries, class sizes and
whether 1,525 teaching positions
will go unfilled this year be-
cause of budget cuts. There are
more than 27,000 teachers in
the system
to New York City, negotia-
tions between the Board of
Education and the United Fed-
eration of Teachers, which rep-
resents 60,000 faculty members
in the public schools, adjourned
with an impasse early today.
