Chicago-area referees avoid strike, saving high school games
Original: Chicago-area referees avoid strike, ending cancellation of high school games
Referees in the Chicago area have stepped back from a threatened strike, a move that ends the cancellation of high school games across the region. Officials had been prepared to walk off the job, leaving schools with no one to officiate contests and forcing games to be called off. With the dispute resolved, scheduled games are expected to resume as normal. Details of the agreement have not been made public.
Why now: A threatened referees' strike that had cancelled local high school games was averted, directly affecting students, families and schools across the Chicago area.
