Chicago teachers could have new contract Wednesday

Posted: Updated:

Chicago teachers could have a new contract today.

Union members voted yesterday and now the counting is underway.

It's a deal that sparked a massive strike in the Windy city, now the new contract is expected to pass.

Last month, teachers at more than 600 schools went on strike, fighting for higher pay and less out of pocket costs for healthcare.

It was the first time for Chicago public schools teachers to strike in nearly a quarter century.

Teachers voted yesterday on the new deal and the union is counting votes today.

Results are expected late tonight or tomorrow.
