The compromise deal gave Emanuel part of the reforms he wanted, and teachers got some guarantees on employment.No details in the report.

” teachers got some guarantees on employment.”
In other words, no qualifying of teachers. Rahm sold out to help Obama

Is there a difference between ending the strike and suspending the strike?

Pity. This was Godfather Ballerina’s chance to break the unions’ backs — to have made a stand, saying essentially, “Hey, we’re liberal in Chicago, but we’re not suckers.” His and Chicago’s loss.

You can bet the union got everything it REALLY WANTED, not everything it cunningly asked for.
One must remember that in strikes, lots of extra, unrealistic ornaments are put on the Christmas tree so that lots can be taken off in negotiations without giving up anything that makes a perfect arborial vision at the end.
Dead Fish Rahm and Obama also got what they wanted....on November 6 the contented Chicago teachers will vote 135% for the Capo of All Capos who occupies the Casa Blanca.
Que sera, sera......

Did Rahm do a ballet dance and throw a knife down on the table?
