芝加哥教师工会拒绝报告,为可能就合同纠纷举行罢工做好准备。 Chicago Teachers Union rejects report, sets stage for potential strike over contract disputes.

芝加哥教师工会(CTU)拒绝一份事实调查报告,其中涉及与芝加哥公立学校的合同谈判,有可能导致罢工。 The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) rejected a fact-finding report on contract negotiations with Chicago Public Schools (CPS), potentially leading to a strike. 报告虽然受到赞扬,但只处理了15个关键问题中的2个,其他问题留待进一步会谈。 The report, while praised, only addressed two of fifteen key issues, leaving others for further talks. CPS声称财政拮据,但工会认为,该区能够承担提高和增加工作人员的费用。 CPS claims financial constraints, but the union argues the district can afford raises and staffing increases. 现在,国家法律规定,在批准罢工之前,需有30天的冷却期。 State law now requires a 30-day cooling-off period before a strike can be authorized.
