In largest demonstration on Chicago streets all year, the Chicago Police Department brings buses of off duty officers and family members to demand Mayor Daley and the City Council negotiate a fair contract.
Mark Donahue, president of the FOP states his organization is for the Olympics if the City can stay solvent doing it. Leroy Jones, City Division Director of SEIU states all city workers' contracts are being held up and the Olympics are being funded on the workers' backs. Marilyn Stewart, President of the Chicago Teachers Union points out how many schools are being closed in the Olympic footprint. One citizen passing by says seeing so many cops ringing City Hall makes him want to rush home and protect his family.
