Members Sue Union

No, not the FOP....at least, not yet.

This was emailed to us the other day:

 And then this was published by IllinoisPolicy.org:

• The Chicago Teachers Union is facing a lawsuit by four of its own members for breach of contract because it failed for over four years to provide an annual audit to members, as is required under the union’s rules.

  Attorneys for the plaintiff CTU members sent a letter to the union on Oct. 1, 2024, demanding the union release audits for the missing fiscal years. When the union failed to comply, the members filed suit.

  The last time CTU released the required document was Sept. 9, 2020, covering the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 fiscal years. While keeping its members in the dark, CTU has raised their dues by 13%, to over $1,400 for its 2024 fiscal year.

This (hopefully) throws a wrench in Stacy Davis-Gates' plans to extort taxpayers (by holding children hostage) to the tune of a few extra billion dollars.

An interesting paragraph in the report:

• Those who have dared to question CTU’s finances have been targeted with insults by its president, Stacy Davis Gates. Other members have just left the union altogether.

  It’s not a good look for the union: refusing to abide by its own rules, keeping its own members in the dark on union finances and then driving up their dues to pay for whatever the union’s leaders are doing with the money.

That sounds familiar to a lot of comments here over the past few months. Trouble over on Washington Blvd?
