The Chicago mayor and the city's teachers union say a strike that has canceled classes for 11 days has been suspended and that classes will resume Friday.
The Chicago Teachers Union says it has reached agreement with the nation’s third-largest school district to make up five of 11 school days lost during the teachers strike.
The union’s delegates voted Wednesday night to accept a tentative agreement that includes pay raises over a five-year contract. But they said they wouldn’t end the strike unless the mayor committed to making up some of the lost days. Jesse Sharkey said Thursday that restoring all 11 days of canceled classes may not be feasible. He says union leaders want to have a conversation with Mayor Lori Lightfoot but that the amount of makeup time “can’t be zero.”
Lightfoot says she’s only open to continuing discussions that are in the “spirit of compromise.” She has maintained throughout the strike that she won’t extend the school year. Elected delegates for the Chicago Teachers Union voted Wednesday night to accept a tentative agreement with the nation’s third-largest school district but say they won’t come back without Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s commitment.
