In a recently released video, Chicago Teachers Union shows the games played by wealthy elites to smear the Union in the midst of heated contract negotiations. Chicago Teachers Union has maintained that it will not bargain in the press over a fair contract, but associates of Mayor Rahm Emanuel have used backroom deals in Springfield, paid protesters, and even members of the Michigan Tea Party to distort the public's image of the Union.

In the video, Chicago Tea Party activist and blogger Andrew Marcus boasts about working with Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emanuel to discredit "the unions in this town."

Those were his words, from his mouth, caught on tape. Apparently the Tea Party -- much like the Rahm Emanuel -- does not believe in transparency because today Marcus issued a press release attacking Chicago teachers, however never denying that he is a Tea Party activist against President Obama.

It's a surprise that Emanuel would want anything to do with him. Video after the jump.
