What are they doing to us in Springfield?
As I write this early in the morning of Monday, there are only a few more days left in the current session of the Illinois legislature.
The worst always happens in the last days of a legislative session.
It is why I worry about handing over what had previously been negotiated locally to the legislature to decide.
Over the past twenty years our local negotiating team has never come away with a contract that did not improve our living and working conditions.
In Springfield, our lobbyists have rarely come away with anything that didn’t make our situation worse.
