Romeoville, Bolingbrook teachers union sets Sept. 18 strike dateTeachers in the 10th-largest school district in Illinois may be on the picket lines instead of in classrooms with students on Sept. 18. Compensation is a top issue, despite Valley View teachers earning more than the state average. The state average is $75,978 and Valley View teachers average $79,497. But the union should beware: the strike tactic could backfire, with community members turning on them like Chicagoans have done with its sister union, the Chicago Teachers Union. CTU’s fall from public favor should be a warning sign to the Valley View Council as it nears its strike date.
