As part of our labor series that stretches from Pittsburgh to Chicago through Cleveland, Detroit, and Benton Harbor, I met with Alison Eichhorn, who is a Chicago Public School teacher at Lindblom High School. Alison is on the bargaining team for the Chicago Teachers Union and discusses the struggles teachers face to educate our youth.

Alison discusses:

-The 2012 and 2019 teacher strikes

-Neoliberal education reform

-The importance of unions

-Winning union strategies
