Union Delegates Will Review CPS Deal Next Week Before It Becomes New Teachers Contract

CHICAGO, IL — The House of Delegates for the Chicago Teachers Union will meet next week to look over the tentative agreement that was reached between the union and Chicago Public Schools, averting a threatened teachers strike, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

CTU's delegates, which number around 800, are set to meet Oct. 19 to review the deal for a new teachers contract that was reached at the 11th hour Monday, the report stated. Delegates are expected to recommend approving the agreement, the report added.

But the deal doesn't become a contract until the union membership votes on it. If the House of Delegates recommends adoption, the delegates then will set a referendum and the close to 25,000 CTU educators will vote to accept or reject the proposal, the report stated.
