Mayor Lori Lightfoot Demands Written Contract Terms From Chicago Teachers Union
With a possible teachers' strike only 10 days away, the mayor says, "We Can't Bargain Against Ourselves."
CHICAGO (CBS) — With a possible teachers’ strike only 10 days away, Mayor Lori Lightfoot accused the Chicago Teachers Union of not providing the Chicago Public Schools with a detailed contract proposal to counter the offers the district has made over the last several months.
“I’m concerned that CTU leadership is not exhibiting the sense of urgency needed to move these negotiations forward in a substantive way to avoid a strike, to advance our shared mission of serving Chicago’s youth,” Lightfoot said Monday morning at City Hall.
