CHICAGO - Union leaders for Chicago’s striking teachers on Wednesday approved a tentative labor deal negotiated with the school district but refused to return to work unless the mayor agreed to make up for instructional days and pay lost during the 10-day walkout.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot immediately rejected the final demand of the 25,000-member Chicago Teachers Union , accusing its leaders of reneging on the agreement reached at the bargaining table earlier. After huddling in private to review the tentative settlement for several hours, union leaders emerged to call on rank-and-file members to rally on Thursday to press their demand for extending the school calendar to offset days missed during the strike.
As was the case in Los Angeles, the labor dispute in Chicago centered on pay as well as teacher demands for contract language to reduce class size and increase staffing levels for support professionals, including nurses and social workers. Striking teachers, who have been without a contract since July 1, have picketed daily in front of many of the district’s 500 schools and have rallied several times in downtown Chicago.
