Governor Rauner’s“Turnaround Resolution”

WHEREAS Illinois state law creates a "one size fits all" approach to collective bargaining for local units of governments. This approach creates added costs which are ultimately passed on to taxpayers; and

WHEREAS local officials should determine what is a subject of bargaining—not the State; and


WHEREAS local control of bargaining would allow local governments to determine if certain topics should be excluded from collective bargaining, including contracting, wages, provisions of health insurance, use of employee time, required levels of staffing, procedures and criteria for personnel evaluations; and


WHEREAS state law sets thresholds for workers on state and local construction projects increasing costs significantly; and

WHEREAS state law has increased utilization of Project Labor Agreements for construction projects; and


WHEREAS repealing the Illinois Prevailing Wage Law and the requirements for Project Labor Agreements would allow local governments more control over construction and project costs; and

WHEREAS more than 280 unfunded mandates have been imposed in recent years on communities across Illinois costing those communities billions; and


WHEREAS rolling back mandates will create more flexibility in local government budgets; and

WHEREAS Workers' Compensation costs in Illinois are the seventh highest in the nation—more than double the costs in Indiana; and


WHEREAS updating how injuries are apportioned to ensure employers pay for injuries that occur on the job, a clarification regarding the definition of "traveling employees" to ensure a reasonable standard that excludes risks that would impact the general public, and implementation of American Medical Association guidelines when determining impairment would result in major cost savings for local governments; and


WHEREAS our community should be allowed to decide whether or not employees should be forced to join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment; and

WHEREAS local empowerment zones will help attract jobs and make our community more attractive for businesses; and


WHEREAS local governments face unfunded liabilities that threaten core services and functions of government; and State action on pension reform for future work should provide local governments the ability to address pension reform for future work as well;

SB 1046, SA #1 (Radogno) – Collective Bargaining and

Prevailing Wage

Removes the ability of employees to collectively bargain with local governments to collectively bargain over:Privatization of services;Pay increases;Health insurance;

SB 1046, SA #1 (Radogno) – Collective Bargaining and Prevailing Wage

Use of employee time for union business

Levels of staffing;Personnel evaluations

SB 1046, SA #1 (Radogno) – Collective Bargaining and Prevailing Wage

A county board, corporate authority of a municipality, or governing authority of a local government or school district may by ordinance apply limits to collective bargaining.

If a petition signed by 5% of the total number of registered voters in a county or municipality is presented to local election authority – a question limiting collective bargaining rights may be placed on ballot for next election.

Prevailing wage would not be applicable to work done on projects performed on behalf of a local government or school.

GOVERNOR RAUNER AFSCME PROPOSALS

No wage increases.

Freeze all step increases.

Eliminate longevity pay (including for all those currently receiving it).

Eliminate almost all semi‐automatic promotions.

Eliminate maximum security pay.

Reduce call‐back pay and stand‐by pay.

Restructure the group health plan to drastically shift costs to employees—with employees paying 40% of the premium cost PLUS 40% of the cost of medical care, paid through much


higher co‐pays, deductibles, and co‐insurance. Employees’ costs would increase by thousands

of dollars.

• Increase dental premiums by more than 100%.

• Increase retiree health insurance costs.

• Increase “out‐of‐pocket” maximums, likely to the highest allowable under federal law.

• Require all employees hired before July 1, 2011 to “voluntarily” agree to reduce their pension

benefits to the Tier 2 level.

• Eliminate the Upward Mobility Program in its entirety, as well as all other forms of tuition

reimbursement, continuing education, and licensure reimbursement.


• Calculate overtime pay based on over 40 hours worked in a full week (and excludes benefit time).

• Reduce amount of holidays and vacation time.

• “Management Rights” clause would not be limited by the terms of the Union contract.

• Allow Management to suspend the contract if it determines an “emergency” exists.

• Redefine grievances to refer only to violations of the “express provisions” of the contract.

• Refuse to allow union dues, PEOPLE contributions, or Fair Share fees to be deducted from

employees’ paychecks.

• Delete all language that restricts subcontracting or personal service contracts—allowing


Management to privatize any state services‐‐replacing bargaining unit employees with vendor

employees‐‐at any time without any notice, justification or review.

• Void the Memorandum of Understanding that places limits on mandatory overtime, allowing

Management to mandate overtime without any restrictions.

• Eliminate most seniority rights

during the layoff process including eliminating all bumping

rights.

• Require employees to use their own time for grievance meetings.

• Require Union stewards to use their own time to represent employees.

• Completely eliminate requirement to bargain about changes in working conditions

WISCONSIN PUBLIC EMPLOYEES NOW

LOCAL 150 WILL FIGHT BACK

This plan would take money out of your pocket and

weaken your benefits and working conditions. It would put

you at the mercy of your employer and quiet your voice in the

workplace. These laws have destroyed public unions in Wisconsin, and we have to work together to stop it from happening here. Local 150 has a plan to fight back, and we need your help.
