Chicago Mayor-elect Brandon Johnson joined those on the picket line on Monday.
– On Monday, Chicago State University faculty members continued their strike, and those on the picket line got some high-profile support.
Adding to their fuel on Monday was Johnson, who joined roughly 160 staffers at Chicago State University as they continued their calls for a fair contract. Ernst Coupet, a professor of economics and finance at CSU, is a member of the bargaining team. He said the biggest roadblock is getting the administration to move, period.
Citing a report from the National Education Association, professors at CSU are among the lowest paid in the state, averaging $88,000 a year, which is $7,000 less than the state average.
