Legally, the teachers are not allowed to strike unless they are striking over pay and benefits. So if they went on strike over the evaluation system, they were breaking the law.

The evaluation system is a federal mandate, by the way, it's not something that Illinois just decided to do out of the blue.

Lawyer...paid if they won every case

Lots of lawyers out there only get paid if they win a case. And fundamentally, law firms that don't win cases go out of business.

Almost all salesmen ONLY get sold when they sell stuff. That's how selling works.
