Feds Demand CTU Accounting
From a few days ago:
The Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) is under investigation by the House Education and Workforce Committee for allegedly failing to show how it has spent union members’ money over the past five years, according to a letter obtained by Fox News Digital.
The committee sent a letter to CTU President Stacy Davis Gates stating that evidence suggests the union failed to provide members with complete financial audits since 2020.
"When unions flout these obligations, they betray the trust of the very people they are meant to serve … Every dollar paid by workers should serve their interests, not those of a select few operating in the shadows," the letter said.
Certain members have been demanding that the annual accounting the CTU is REQUIRED to provide (but haven't for five years now) be provided so that oversight can be conducted.
Chicago Teacher Union president Stacy-Davis Gates - who lived in Indiana, took advantage of Indiana homeowner tax laws for years, likely sent her kids to Indiana schools and probably voted in Indiana, won't provide Chicago teachers (many of whom live in the suburbs) with any sort of accountability. Which has resulted in a trickle of odd expenditures being exposed....like the union owning a house/recording studio somewhere in the southwestern US.
What is it with Chicago unions swindling their members out of money that's supposed to be used for the members?
Maybe the feds will get answers where the members can't?
