Illinois Senate backs apprenticeship rule for state projects
The Illinois Senate approved HB3048 to require contractors on state projects to channel certain workers through apprenticeship programs. The measure, sponsored by Walsh and Flider, aims to boost safety and qualification though critics warn non union contractors may face higher costs. The bill passed 39 to 19 and moves to Governor Blagojevich. United Airlines reports progress in restructuring and may push its bankruptcy exit from mid 2004 to this fall if revenue improves, though it still must meet lender targets and submit a reorganization plan by October 6.
