双语新闻：芝加哥教师大罢工结束
The Chicago Teachers Strike Is Over
Chicago teachers have voted to suspend the strike that has kept them out of classrooms for more than a week, the AP is reporting.
Classes in the city could resume as early as Wednesday.
According to the AP, union delegates voted Tuesday to formally suspend the strike after working out a potential contract settlement over the weekend.
The vote Tuesday did not center on the contract, but whether to continue the strike, which has affected some 350,000 students in the nation's third-largest school district.
The proposed contract will now be voted on by more than 25,000 teachers in the city, according to the AP.
Some 800 delegates were involved in Tuesday's vote.
"We said we couldn't solve all the problems. . .and it was time to suspend the strike," CTU President Karen Lewis said at a news conference after the vote, The Chicago Tribune reported. “The issue is, we cannot get a perfect contract. There’s no such thing as a contract that will make all of us” happy, she reportedly added.
Teachers in Chicago had walked out Sept. 10 to protest the contract proposed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel's office. They voted Sunday to continue the strike in order to iron out the details of their contract. On Monday, Mayor Emanuel had tried to get a court order forcing them back into the classrooms, according to Reuters.
The two sides had been debating a new contract all summer, since the last one expired in June.

新闻快讯：
这是美国芝加哥教师25年来的首次罢工，到今天已经持续六天，导致35万名学生无法复课。罢工的组织者，芝加哥教师工会代表2.9万名教职工，原定于周一就恢复上课，但近日却宣布，将内部讨论谈判代表与市政府达成的劳工合同草案，在表决前会继续罢工。
芝加哥公立学校在未来3年将面临30亿美元预算赤字，这导致市长伊曼纽尔近期推出一系列教育改革方案。但其中的教师业绩考核和再就业制度，引发全市教师们的不满。
芝加哥是执政的民主党大本营，也是奥巴马4年前竞选的福地。此番罢工，影响很坏，连竞争对手罗姆尼也发声明谴责。目前，教师工会代表决定，18日再次开会，对是否继续罢工做出表决。而市长伊曼纽尔则警告说，将请求法院下令，强制教师复工。
