Chicago Teachers Union lobby day costs taxpayers up to $19.3K – Illinois Policy

The Chicago Teachers Union urged teachers to leave their classrooms and go to Springfield to lobby state lawmakers for more funding, which forced taxpayers to spend between $12,500 and $19,300 on substitute teachers. Besides the cost, CTU’s move also hurt learning for Chicago’s struggling students.

Typical of CTU. Tell teachers to call off, with no consideration to disruption to students or education. CTU is a political activist group, not a labor union
