Chicago teachers union rallyThe lawsuit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court, accuses the Chicago Teachers Union, former President Jesse Sharkey, current President Stacy Davis Gates, and the American Federation of Teachers of allegedly conspiring to call an illegal strike in December 2021 and January 2022. The lawsuit asserts such actions caused a widespread public nuisance and violated the contract rights of CPS students and families, who should be considered third-party beneficiaries of the collective bargaining agreement between the CTU and CPS.

This won’t really sting CTU until Sharkey, Davis-Gates and other CPS leadership are personally held liable and have to pony up their own money. Its a nice start. CTU are the vilest vermin in Illinois. The destruction of this terrorist group’s cancer upon the state must happen in order for Illinois to thrive.
