Bans "right to work" laws; supports collective bargaining

Legislative Summary: SB1474: Employers and labor organizations may execute and apply agreements requiring membership in a labor organization as a condition of employment to the fullest extent authorized by the National Labor Relations Act. It is the policy of the State that employers, employees, and their labor organizations are free to bargain collectively.

Analysis by CBS-2 Chicago: With the support of labor unions, a new bill prohibiting municipalities in the state from enacting "right-to-work laws" was signed into law by Gov. Pritzker. The "Collective Bargaining Freedom Act" prohibits local right-to-work ordinances & imposes penalties for violations. [Voting "Yes" empowers unions by enforcing "collective bargaining"; voting "No" supports "right-to-work" laws that weaken unions].

Legislative Outcome:Passed Senate 42-12-5 on Mar/7/19; Passed House 101-8-9 on Apr/3/19; State Rep. Delia Ramirez voted YES; Signed by Gov. Pritzker on Apr/12/19

$7.25/hour minimum wage is an insult; raise to $15/hour

A $7.25 an hour minimum wage was an insult before prices surged. It's time for a $15 minimum wage and one fair wage, at least. Workers at companies like Starbucks and Amazon have been organizing unions to demand fair treatment and fair pay. The wealthy executives refuse to negotiate with them--and have even fired workers for speaking up on the job. That's wrong--every worker deserves a voice and needs protection from retribution when they speak up. Source: Working Families Party on 2023 State of the Union speech , Feb 7, 2023
