Voters will decide on the Illinois collective bargaining amendment, which supports workers' rights, on the Election Day ballotTuesday.
Tuesday, November 8, 2022 4:34PMThe workers' rights amendment would codify in the Illinois Constitution the rights that workers currently have to organize and bargain collectively.Illinois voters will decide Tuesday whether to amend their state constitution to guarantee the right to bargain collectively.
They view it as a way to ensure that workers will always be able to use their collective clout to secure better pay, hours and working conditions. They also say it would prevent the Legislature, should it undergo a shift to the right, from passing a so-called right-to-work law that would allow workers covered by union contracts to not pay dues.
Business groups and conservatives oppose the measure, saying they think it will drive up taxes, give unions too much power, lead to more strikes and prompt companies to leave for more industry-friendly states.
