Robert Bruno - Public School Funding

Dr. Robert Bruno, the director of the University of Illinois's Labor Education Program, discussed the 2012 Chicago Teacher's Strike and its impact on later teachers strikes. The author of several books on Chicago and labor unions also examined his earlier studies on the impact to schools and the community due to the loss of steel worker jobs as plants closed, the reforms made in the Chicago Teamster Union, and the impact of working class churches to their neighborhoods.
