Illinois AFL-CIO splits on public employee bargaining priority
The Illinois AFL-CIO declined to make public employee collective bargaining the top priority in the current session. The convention split over whether university employees should be covered, voting to tone down language and reducing the likelihood of legislative action this year. Political caution includes Chicago Mayor Daley’s stance on the bills. In Seneca, the Dramatics Club prepares The Stuck Pot at Seneca Township High School for an Oct. 22 performance at 8 p.m.
