Chicago teachers union reach 'tentative agreement,' but strike continues.
"I'm not compensating them for days that they were out on strike — I've been very clear about that from Day 1," Lightfoot said. She accused the union of moving the goalposts during negotiations.
The mayor said the city has offered the union a"historic deal, by any measure" that includes compensation, class size, staffing, resources for the homeless and other issues."The contract as it stands today, even as it stood a week ago, is the most generous deal that CPS has ever offered to the CTU," she said.
The nation's third-largest school district canceled classes after the teachers' union went on strike earlier this month. We have a tentative agreement, but we do not have a return to work agreement. So we will be at City Hall at 10 a.m. to demand the mayor return our days.CTU President Jesse Sharkey said at a news conference Wednesday night that teachers are"happy about"the tentative agreement but that"we're not walking away from two weeks of school."
"We do not understand why the mayor cannot simply call and say, 'we'll give you an agreement to make up the instructional time,'" Sharkey said."If the mayor calls, and I take that call and she says that we have an agreement on that, we'll be back at work tomorrow."He said commitments about school nurses, class size, social workers and resources for homeless students wouldn’t have been possible if teachers didn't walk picket lines.
