Chicago public schools to close ahead of looming strike via ReutersTV
CHICAGO - Chicago Public Schools said it was canceling classes on Thursday for 361,000 students after union leaders recommended teachers walk off their jobs if protracted labor negotiations failed to produce a deal by midnight.
“We need to get a deal done,” she said during an afternoon briefing. “Make no mistake, this work stoppage will put a significant strain on working families. We need to do right by our children.” Lightfoot, who took office in May, said the city had reached a labor agreement with the union representing city park workers.
The district’s bargaining team has offered 80 proposed changes to the current contract related to issues requested by the union, Lightfoot said.
