To be clear, what the Chicago teachers union did was an illegal walkout. They abandoned their posts and abandoned kids and their families. We\u2019re working diligently every single day at the bargaining table to narrow the differences and get a deal done. Our team has been working every single day. They\u2019re back at it again here Sunday. They were at it yesterday. We can get a deal done if there\u2019s goodwill on both sides.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>She added, \u201cBut fundamentally, what we cannot do is abandon the science. We know that the safest place for kids to be is in the morning in schools, and we\u2019ve spent millions hundreds of millions of dollars to make our schools safe. They are safe. We\u2019ve got the data that demonstrate that we\u2019ve got to get the teachers union to get real and get serious about getting back into in-person learning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Pam Key on Twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/pamkeyNEN\">@pamkeyNEN<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Sunday on NBC\u2019s \u201cMeet the Press\u201d that the Chicago Teachers\u2019 Union had their teachers take part in an \u201cillegal walkout\u201d by refusing to show up &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1201568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1201568","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1201568"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1201568\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1201568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1201568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1201568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
