CTU MOTION DENIED IN AUDITS CASE
A Cook County judge on Monday denied a Chicago Teachers’ Union motion for summary judgment and granted plaintiffs’ request to compel discovery in a case over the union’s lack of releasing financial audits to its members.
Liberty Justice Center chair Sara Albrecht said the court saw through CTU’s effort to avoid scrutiny.
LJC filed suit in October 2024 on behalf of four CTU members after they said the union failed to produce the audits for four years.
