thanks guys, the reason for the strike is a hand full of contractors (mainly a big conglomerate that owns 3 companies) is trying to basically destroy the apprenticeship program by taking away 5% pay, a new time line, no pay in to the retirement fund, and no insurance for the first 2 years. they already make $425,000 a year on new apprentices, but that isnt enough.
10/8/1871- the great Chicago fire. Approximately 250 people were killed in the fire; 98,500 people were left homeless; 17,450 buildings were destroyed along with the original Emancipation Proclamation.
