It must be getting claustrophobic over at the CTU Center
The feds seem to have caught onto the financial mess the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) has created for itself and are demanding the union’s audit records going back to 2019, if they even exist, that is.
The CTU has been stonewalling since the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee sent its letter on November 20th, but last week the union finally claimed that they would comply with the committee’s requests, though they have pushed the date off from December 8th to the 22nd.
Already the CTU has been holding information back from its members and violating its own rulesmandating that its audits be released to members annually. And for a while it looked like the union was going to do the same to the feds.
The notice taken by the congressional committee comes after a group of teachers filed a lawsuitearly in October to force the CTU to release the audits it has withheld from its members.
The CTU attempted to have the lawsuit thrown out, but a judge denied the request.
The House committee noted how alarmed it is over the CTU’s refusal to obey its own rules and worried the union is acting to “betray the trust of the very people they are meant to serve.”
