Sesame, salt, and substance. A flagship bake.
Summary
Chicago Teachers Union members voted overwhelmingly against a proposed amendment that would have raised union dues to fund political campaigns. The vote sends a clear message to CTU leadership that members want the union to focus on core educational issues and be more considerate of its members' financial concerns, rather than engaging in excessive political activity.
