Tinley Park teachers union may strike Sept. 22District 146 Educators Council has voted to authorize a strike. If an agreement is not reached, teachers in Tinley Park could strike as soon as Sept. 22. Nearly 200 teachers affiliated with the Illinois Federation of Teachers in Tinley Park Elementary District 146 could strike as soon as Sept. 22 after the union filed an intent to strike notice Sept. 12, the last step before walking out on 2,354 students. IFT is also the parent affiliate of the Chicago Teachers Union, which provides a case study in how Illinois unions aggressively use this power. District 146 teachers who don’t want to strike do have another option: they can opt out of the union.
