After multiple weeks on the picket lines and 11 days of missed classes, teachers in Chicago are returning to their classrooms. The teacher’s strike in Chicago was the longest strike by teachers in Chicago since 2012. The strike was caused by months of unsuccessful negotiations with city official. Wednesday, union leaders met with city officials to vote on a new tentative deal that ensured pay increases over a five year span for Chicago educators.
