Teachers did not receive the 4% raise they were promised last year (it was revoked) and now they have a 20% increase in their classroom work.
This is why unions were formed - to keep employers from abusing employees by denying raises that were promised, and demanding 1/5 more work for the same pay. They will negotiate, and meet in the middle. Hopefully the city won't "revoke" the raises they agree to. Like they just did last year. That can make employees angry enough to, you know, strike.

Shortest school day, shortest school year of any major city. Demanding raises and approving to strike before negotiating is typical union nonsense. Modern day thuggery once again.
