Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 73, which represents 7,500 staff employees of Chicago Public Schools, issued a strike notice Tuesday, CBS Chicago reports.
Members voted in July to authorize a strike by 97%, citing what they are calling poverty wages as a motivator for the walk out.
SEIU Local 73 could be on strike as early as October 17th, potentially joined by SEIU members of the city's Park District which voted by 94% to strike last week. Earlier this week the Chicago Teachers Union also voted to authorize a strike by 94% putting the CTU on pace to be on strike by the end of the month.
