Mark Konkol: "Friday's election is bigger than whether CTU leaders should fight for social justice. Teachers have to decide if they're going to reelect a CTU regime that drained the union's cash reserves, wasted half-a-million dollars on a failed mayoral candidate, lobbied Madigan the Chicago Way, fired a guy for talking out of turn, hired an insider's mom, leveraged positions to pad their paychecks and led an illegal strike that picked $33 million from rank-and-file pockets."

Great konkol articale!!. But why is it only konkol at tiny patch reporting on what goes on at ctu. While the rest of press is so in love with sharkey, gates and the rest of the ctu shake-down crew?
Commies being commies
I predict a low voter turnout and a CORE victory. It is simply too hard to oust regimes within unions. The status quo almost always wins.
This current CTU regime was elected by ousting the previous regime for not being progressive enough. It happens but they’ll only be replaced with even crazier progressives. They own the democrat party now.
