“The court saw through CTU’s effort to avoid scrutiny," Sara
Albrecht, chair of Liberty Justice Center, the nonprofit law
firm representing union members who filed the lawsuit, said in a
statement. "Simply posting documents after being sued doesn’t
erase legal obligations. With discovery now moving forward, we
intend to get a full accounting of whether CTU has complied with
its duties to its own members."
LJC filed suit in October 2024 on behalf of four CTU members
after they said the union failed to produce the audits for four
years. In November 2025, the U.S. House Committee on Education
and Workforce sent a letter to CTU President Stacy Davis Gates,
asking the union to produce audits from 2019 to 2024. In
January, CTU said it had made the audits available and filed the
motion to dismiss the lawsuit, which a judge refused.
"CTU tried to shut this case down before the facts could come
out," Albrecht said. "The court said no. Now that discovery is
moving forward, we’ll be able to examine whether CTU has truly
provided the full financial disclosures its members deserve.”
