*Summary:* ” The “bargaining for the common good https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bargainingforthecommongood.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7Csagauro%40smlr.rutgers.edu%7C960ec23331fa4aec5ce008d752ab14a4%7Cb92d2b234d35447093ff69aca6632ffe%7C1%7C0%7C637068767061313087&sdata=lvlf4JzVte0KAe%2FfNiFMuvbsDR9Iuwe5v2Mksuxz1sk%3D&reserved=0” approach being taken up by CTU represents a two-fisted strategy to win the schools and neighborhoods that Chicago working families deserve. On one hand, Chicago teachers are forcing the city and the school system to codify commitments to improve Chicago schools by writing them into their contract. On the other, unions are working with community groups to win the money to pay for those improvements through progressive revenue solutions that make the wealthy pay their fair share, instead of regressive taxes and fines on working families. “
