Chicago Public School lunchroom workers will receive a 2 percent raise for at least two years and see a five-year freeze on converting “cooking” kitchens to “warming kitchens” under a deal announced Thursday.
A new labor deal could impact what Chicago kids eat at school. After two months of negotiations, lunchroom workers reached a five-year contract agreement with Chicago Public Schools to serve fresh-cooked food in cafeterias. “Chicago Public Schools has listened to us,” says Constance Hatchett, a CPS cook.
