With Chicago teachers' strike into the third day, the two sides appear work behind closed doors, not in court solve problems, even if the city authorities take combat - although in the major political risk, legal experts say.
Although the court test, added to the Illinois education labor relations of the provisions of the "last hitting all matters, but compensation involves wages and welfare, may prevent the teacher. The strike, which began on Monday, seems to be a wide range of problems, there are many small salary.

The average salary teachers in Chicago's $74236, and $64978 compared with the national average. By Sunday, the Chicago public school district to provide teachers in four years increased by 16%. Last Sunday, Chicago teachers union President Karen lewis said offer is "far" from the trade union is what seek.
Therefore, if the strike is not strictly compensation, it may be a kind of illegal behavior, according to state laws and regulations, even the European Union admits. He said: "the new Illinois law prohibits we blow laid-off teachers and a longer school year compensation recalled, we are not going to sign an agreement until the day that these problems can be solved, the" trade union published on Sunday, said in a statement.
From Chicago teachers union representatives will not comment on the report.
Chicago's mayor lhamo · Emanuel, democratic, in his prepared another tool, is the national law said, if a teachers' strike "or has become a public health or safety of clear and real danger," the mayor to the court for an injunction to stop it. Marin, law and the workplace in Chicago Illinois institute of technology research institute director, "Martin said," however, this option seems unlikely, because shall not cover public welfare, it will be more strike.
So far, not the pursuit of the city may be illegal strike, but, not be considered circumstances, to the public, the trade union described a "striking first." Sarah Hamilton, communication competent mayor Emanuel, said his government's "key is to let the children from their teacher in the classroom learning, we believe that this is the best solution in the negotiating table, not in front of the judge."
On Tuesday, Emmanuel said, in the negotiations of the two main problems - teacher evaluation and teachers reemploy - in law is "not a strikeable."
Emanuel opinion "set things, especially if the strike is long, he called for legislation, in order to further restrict [union] to strike, may need additional third party intervention or limitation of the main body of rights refers to the trade union may strike, sir said:" marin.
This is an unusual public sector workers in violation of state regulations of strike action, face jail time or the risk of a hefty fine. In New Jersey meters del dun, more than 200 teachers were imprisoned in December 2001, break the laws of the state of the judge's background work order. Recently, in December 2005 in New York city transit workers strike leads to a $2.5 million fine transport workers union local 100 and 10 days in jail, the President.
If teachers strike in Chicago played two week's symbol, it is likely that Emanuel will become a resolution to the court, lando husband macleod kling said, labor law lawyer, in pace university law school professor, New York White beach city (White Plains)
"This could become very serious. The city, to its credit, do not pull, triggered. Macleod kling said," they realize that once you start held teacher, front are attracted, there won't be any compromise. However, longer strike withstand test parents patience, Emmanuel may feel a bottom spirit court for guidance.
"If this situation continues for two weeks, the whole city will ratchet to a new level, because of the pressure from your parents will become so serious. This is the key question," he said.
The public sector and private sector strike, strike an additional political level, it is put forward the duel of the narrative, explain what is at stake of the public.
For Emanuel, the two core problem is teacher's evaluation, including student achievement and the President's authority, recruiting teachers, they want to measures. The trade union put a more complex question: increase the number of classes, the school building deterioration, and work safety. They worry that nearby violence and family feuds and other factors, will promote students' performance, not just the teacher, results in about 6000 teacher layoffs. They also said, for school collapse lost their jobs when teachers, should first employ position.
William Powell Jones said in the United States, an associate professor at the university of wisconsin-madison, specializing in labor problems of history, for the support from the public, especially from parents, common in public sector labor combat.
"They emphasize things, more important is each other, but the problem was also regarded as public sympathy. Reality, all of these problems are at stake, it is complex, in fact, Emanuel is a national digital," Mr. Jones said.
In addition, people difficult to grasp what problem the deadlock, because close the door talks segregated.
"The question is, because the problem is in the middle of the collective bargaining process, both parties all stories to their advantage. If there is no gain practical Suggestions and response, it is difficult to say what is the real question is," said colin macleod, labor law lawyer.
What is known is that the strike is to be considered in a wide range of Labour union public purpose and effective reform in recent years for their collection of legislative majority leader, especially the republicans, in neighboring states, like Wisconsin, indiana, Ohio.
