Unions promise not to strike during Democratic convention twill
Ahead of next summer's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, top Democratic officials on Tuesday signed a"labor peace agreement," reinforcing Democrats' long-standing ties to organized labor and limiting potential disruptions at the highly watched event.
The agreement -- the details of which are not being made public -- comes more than a year ahead of the convention itself, which is scheduled for Aug. 19-22, 2024. The 13-month lead time places the labor agreement"earlier than ever before," according to Gov. JB Pritzker, who was on hand for Tuesday morning's ceremony at Chicago's McCormick Place.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, himself a longtime organizer with the progressive Chicago Teachers Union, committed to using the convention to bolster economic development in communities that have historically faced disinvestment.
