Pritzker signs charter neutrality bill, Chicago Teachers Union fights to weaken charter schools – Illinois Policy

Despite opposing charter schools in Chicago, CTU has successfully pushed to unionize over a quarter of charter school teachers and staff. And in 2018, CTU successfully merged the Chicago Alliance of Charter Teachers and Staff (ChiACTS) under the same CTU banner, forcing CTU’s agenda onto the charter schools represented by ChiACTS, and diminishing the representative voice of the charter school teachers within CTU.
