Working people have lost a champion and TDU has lost a friend. We mourn the passing of Karen Lewis whose activism helped transform the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) and changed teacher unionism forever.

Did you get a letter from the Office of the Election Supervisor, asking you to verify contributions that you made to TDU?

UPS reported record-shattering $24.9 billion in fourth-quarter revenue and $7.8 billion in operating profits after taxes for the year. The corporate windfall makes the givebacks imposed by Hoffa & Co. in the 2018 contract an even more bitter pill to swallow than it was already.
