NEW: Chicago teachers and City Hall reached a labor deal to end a strike that kept kids out of school for 11 days, officials announce.
CTU represents more than 25,000 teachers and support staff. Separately, 7,500 members of the Service Employees International Union Local 73 were also out on strike, but had reached a deal on Wednesday.
"We feel like we achieved a lot of things," CTU President Jessee Sharkey told reporters."There are some things we didn’t achieve, but it’s not a day for photo opps and victory laps." Lightfoot invited Sharkey to make a joint announcement, but the union president declined in a sign of the lingering bad blood."They don’t need to see me smiling with the mayor when in fact what they need to see is we have a tentative agreement, we have a return to work agreement."

I had leveled up Tidus to about 28 when the second plane struck and I had to turn off my PS2. I didn’t even have time to get to a save point, so I had to track down the Mercury Sigil all over again.” At press time, Howard recalled exactly where he was in Final Fantasy X2 when Saddam Hussein was killed.
