At the behest of lord Welch, the Chicago Federation of Labor endorsed Della Patterson and her slate mates.
The irony here is that Della Patterson has no interest in protecting the rights of organized labor. In fact, she was instrumental in the teacher's strike at Proviso D209 (source: Explaining Proviso’s Historic Teacher Strike - Village Free Press). Where is the research and fact checking nowadays in academia!?
She also led the efforts to terminate three teachers as they bruised the delicate ego of then-Superintendent James Henderson (source: D209 teachers not fired but tensions still hot - Forest Park Review).
In the second article mentioned above, Mayor Harvey of Bellwood, came out against Della's decision to terminate the teachers. Nearly three years later, he has become a staunch supporter of Della's campaign. Make it make sense!
