Above: The first page of the 112-page "Complaint" submitted by Gail Koffman and Patti Walsh to the Chicago Teachers Union Executive Board on May 28, 2008 against CTU Vice President Ted Dallas. The unprecedented attempt to remove an elected officer from office and strip him of union membership caused a major stir among union members. In a court case, attorneys for Ted Dallas successfully argued for a preliminary injunction barring the union from acting at a June 12 Executive Board meeting. Urged on by President Marilyn Stewart, however, a small number of union members continued to try and press their alleged case against Dallas. By early July, the issue was still tied up in court, while the Chicago Teachers Union, faced with a major budget crisis, had as many as four and five lawyers representing one faction of the union against Dallas.
