Chicago Teachers Union members will soon vote on their leadership.
The June 28 primary is approaching. But Friday comes another election, one that's bound to have a big political impact: The election for leadership of the Chicago Teachers Union. While only CTU members can vote, the results will have an impact beyond the union itself. The CTU has become a dominant political force in Chicago, and even on the national scene, in the past dozen or so years.
