Chicago Schools' Reopening Plan in Limbo

The video discusses the stalled reopening of Chicago Public Schools, affecting over 60,000 students and 10,000 staff. Negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and the district are at a standstill, potentially leading to a strike or lockout.

The district warns of an illegal strike if teachers don't show up, but the Union argues that a lockout would force a strike.
