The CTU is easily one of the most radical left-wing unions in America, led by psychotic moonbat Karen Lewis (seen above).

The Chicago Teachers Union has gone global. The CTU’s demand of a 30 percent raise and subsequent 10-day strike made them rock stars in the radical unionist crowd.
Unions around the world continue to draw inspiration from the CTU and its president Karen Lewis.
Britain’s National Union of Teachers has been rattling its own saber with that nation’s leaders. Christine Blower, president of the humorously acronymed NUT, wrote in the communist paper, Morning Star:
In many ways the NUT has come late to the debates and practice of organising.
As a consequence we have learned a great deal from colleagues elsewhere in the movement and from the substantial body of research into organising in Britain.
We are also fortunate enough to have been able to learn international lessons from other teaching unions fighting similar battles to the NUT.
Not least among these are the lessons taught us by the Chicago Teachers Union which has successfully pushed back some of the worst aspects of (the global education reform movement) in a city that was in many ways the testing ground of neoliberal education policy.
