As you might know, Governor Rauner has been in a bit of a stalemate with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) who represents many workers that are part of a union. As we know, Governor Rauner has been working to diminish union rights such as collective bargaining (negotiation of wages and other conditions of employment by an organized body of employees.)
The Illinois House of Representatives has recently passed a bill called SB1229 which proposes the following:
"Under SB1229, House Amendment #2, the Illinois Public Labor Relations Ace (IPLRA) would be amended to allow AFSCME to waive its right to strike while providing an alternative procedure for resolving collective bargaining agreements between the state of Illinois and units of employees of state agencies"
This quotation along with more details of the bill can be found at this link: http://www.ieanea.org/2015/08/30/protect-union-rights/
After vetoing SB1229, Governor Rauner threatened forcing a strike and shutting down the state government is AFSCME does not agree to his terms. Now it's up to us to tell Governor Rauner we support collective bargaining to protect our rights as teachers. We as students must contact our state representatives and tell our legislators to vote to override the governor's veto of SB1229 (Amendment #2).
The vote is scheduled for Wednesday so call or email now!
