Chicago Teachers Want 30% Raise

The Chicgo Teachers Union wants a 30% raise over the next two years; 25% for 2012-13 and 5% for the following. And you thought Al Capone was dead. I realize it's a part of the negotiation process but the unions need a lesson in theft. What they should have done is ask for a 300% raise then whittled it down to the aforementioned 30%.
