Billionaire Gov. Bruce Rauner Declares War on Illinois State Unions Through Executive Order
From In These Times, February 9, 2015
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner launched the first of his promised attacks on the state’s labor unions on Monday with an executive order intended to end the legal requirement for Illinois state workers who are not members of unions to pay agency or “fair share” fees to cover the costs to the union of bargaining on their behalf. The action is a shot across the bow by a governor who clearly intends to go to war with organized labor in Illinois.
Currently, all unionized state employees must pay an agency fee. According to the governor, 6,500 workers are now paying this fee—what he dubs an “unfair share”—to one of the several unions representing a significant share of the state’s workforce, which numbers almost 78,000. Until the courts rule on his executive order, Rauner said the dues of the 6,500 will be held in escrow.
