A Look at the Chicago Teachers Union

Alexander Russo:

CTU one of the most conflicted, colorful organizations out there – having their dirty laundry aired on District 299.

Drama and infighting is better than anything on reality TV – “Real World, CTU” – but about a serious issue.

Happy May Day – appropriate and timely for this discussion

WHAT”S BEEN HAPPENING

Scads of comments this winter and spring about what’s going on inside the teachers union.

Makes sense – there are tens of thousands of Chicago teachers, as well as teachers in training and parents with kids in CPS schools – directly affected by what happens in CPS and within the CTU.

Most recently: Letter sent to me in which Stewart complains about being treated rudely by her own Secretary (Linda Porter), elected on a slate with MS last spring.
