Public employee bargaining measure on senate floor
A strike by New York City bridge workers spurred Illinois lawmakers to push a public employee collective bargaining bill. The Senate Labor and Commerce Committee sent the measure to the floor 17 to 1, with Sen. Frank Savickas the sole opponent. Support from unions and officials backed the bill, which preserves a nonessential strike clause and allows hospital boards to negotiate with nurses, amid competing proposals from Democrats and GOP sponsors.
