The Chicago Teachers' Strike: The preparation for the strike, the demands of the strike, and the lessons of the strike in the light of the Presidential Election
with Carol Caref, Area A Vice President from the Chicago Teachers' Union
Carol Caref taught math in Chicago for 25 years, and was a new teacher during the strike of 1987. She was a founding member of the Caucus of Rank and File Educators (CORE), which won the CTU election in 2010 and moved the union toward a transparent, member-driven, fighting
organization. Carol joined the CTU staff in July, 2010, as co-coordinator of the Quest Center, which is the union's professional development arm. In that capacity, she was the main author of the booklet, The Schools Chicago's Students Deserve, credited with helping to solidify parent support for CTU and lead members towards a vision of the union as an agent for change in education policy. As an elected member of the CTU Executive Board, in the capacity of Area A Vice President, Carol served on the strike leadership team. During the recent strike, she helped craft the organizing strategy and make decisions regarding the many questions and details surrounding day to day strike operations.
