Chicago Teachers Union election headed for a June 11 runoff.

Catalyst’s Twitter site is reporting that Karen Lewis, candidate of the rank-and-file insurgent CORE caucus has forced current CTU prez Marilyn Stewart into a runoff.

Catalyst’s post:

Counted: 19,477 votes. 32.3% incumbent Stewart (UPC); 30.7% Lewis (CORE); 16.1% Lynch (PACT); 6.5% Porter (CSDU); 5.8% Hajiharis (SEA)

This spells definite trouble for Stewart and her caucus. Congratulations to Lewis.
