<div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Chicago Teachers Union voted to refuse in-person instruction after the nation's third-largest school district called teachers and staff into classrooms and started to lock them out from remote work.
