Vote YES for the Workers’ Rights Amendment
The WORKERS’ RIGHTS AMENDMENT is the FIRST thing on your ballot.
It will guarantee the right of workers to bargain for safe working conditions, fair pay, and benefits.
That includes putting patient care ahead of profit, construction workers being able to speak out about a safety issue, and people being able to negotiate for a fair wage for their hard work.
It will stop politicians from taking away workers’ freedom to join together and negotiate with their employers.

What is the Workers’ Rights Amendment?
Explanation of Amendment:
The Workers’ Rights Amendment would add the following section to the Illinois Constitution:
“SECTION 25. WORKERS’ RIGHTS
(a) Employees shall have the fundamental right to organize and to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating wages, hours, and working conditions, and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work. No law shall be passed that interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively over their wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment and workplace safety, including any law or ordinance that prohibits the execution or application of agreements between employers and labor organizations that represent employees requiring membership in an organization as a condition of employment.”
