I just signed a @ilaflcio petition: Save Our Transit Systems - Support SB1938. Sign here:

FTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez discussed the importance of the I-290/Blue Line modernization & other IL transportation issues during a mtg today with @GovPritzker, @IDOT_Illinois Transpo Secretary Omer Osman, State Senate President @DonHarmonIL & @CTA President Dorval Carter.

III FFC's Executive Director, Marc Poulos, talks about Project Labor Agreements and how they typically include language that eliminates the risk of strikes, lockouts, or other labor disruptions in his new op-ed.

I want to encourage everyone to join the III FFC for our Public Construction Summit on April 6 in Lisle, IL. It's a great event for public bodies, elected officials, contractors, & attorneys. Best part? It's FREE!  Learn more and register today!

Mary Ann Ahern @MaryAnnAhernNBC is covering the story that most Chicago journalists aren't ready to report: Lori Lightfoot is not in a position to make the runoff. Chuy and Vallas have much stronger bases of support to advance to a runoff. What wards do Lightfoot actually win?

To the working people of Illinois: I have your back and will always stand up for what's right.

Chuy García @ChuyChicago leads first round vote for Chicago mayor by 7%, beats Lightfoot by 31% in head to head poll. Chuy is the clear favorite. Poll conducted by @Local150 #twill

As candidates for Chicago mayor jockey for union support, ‘Chuy’ García lands a big labor endorsement

With more ballots counted, Lake and Fulton counties have now voted "YES" to Illinois Amendment 1, which enshrines the right to collective bargaining into the state constitution. The Amendment passes with 53% "yes" votes of total ballots cast #twill #electiontwitter

Happy Thanksgiving week! ILEPI is thankful for passage of the Workers' Rights Amendment in Illinois.

Illinois is the most pro-worker state. #workersrightsamendment

It's National Apprenticeship Week! In Illinois, union programs train 97% of all construction apprentices and deliver significantly higher completion rates and journeyworker wages than employer-only nonunion programs. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2022 #ApprenticeshipWeek

Good morning.

The Associated Press has officially called the race. When workers vote, workers win. 💪 Illinois will have the strongest worker protections in the nation.

Union apprenticeship programs are the bachelor's degrees of the construction industry. In Illinois, they deliver training hours, graduation rates, diversity outcomes, and competitive earnings that rival public universities. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2022 #ApprenticeshipWeek

It's official: Illinois voters approve changes to the state constitution to enshrine collective bargaining rights and ban future efforts to implement Right to Work policies. With 2,113,534 votes in favor, there is no longer any mathematical path for the amendments defeat.

Illinois Amendment 1 PASSES, which enshrines the right to collective bargaining in the Illinois Constitution. While the amendment did not get 60% of the amendment question vote, it met the other legal requirement to get more than 50% of total ballots cast in the election. #twill
