Local 1: The Rise of America's Most Powerful Teachers Union

Although not released to the general public at the time, Illinois Policy Institute had generously offered to give all our Citizen Farmers early access to watch "Local 1: The Rise of America's Most Powerful Teachers Union."

This is a film the Chicago Teachers Union doesn't want you to see. Join the Illinois Policy Institute for an exclusive advance screening of this new documentary that exposes how the CTU has seized power over Chicago Public Schools to the detriment of kids, parents and the community. 

Proudly radical, explicitly political and confrontational to its core, the CTU has revolutionized the American labor movement. But as the union tightens its grip on Illinois and exports its influence nationwide, "Local 1" reveals the true cost for students, parents and teachers – and provides hope for a brighter future.
