Chicago Teachers Strike: Union, City Fail To Reach Contract Deal
After a marathon session in Chicago's Hilton hotel, rank and file members of the Chicago Teachers Union spilled into the street at midnight central time with no contract agreement -- only the promise of a continued strike.
"No deal," a source close to the negotiations told The Huffington Post seven minutes before midnight.
"We came in very optimistic and we left very disappointed," the source later said.
Chicago Public Schools (CPS) spokesperson Marielle Sainvilus confirmed that no deal was reached. She added that both sides planned to meet again on Friday morning.
