This is the line to apply for the Sprinkler Fitters Local 281 apprenticeship program this morning. Young people want to work, they just don’t want to work for peanuts. This is how we rebuild the middle class. @iptleg @noamscheiber #1u

Union apprenticeship programs are the bachelor's degrees of the construction industry. In Illinois, they deliver training hours, graduation rates, diversity outcomes, and competitive earnings that rival public universities. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW2022 #ApprenticeshipWeek

It's official: Illinois voters approve changes to the state constitution to enshrine collective bargaining rights and ban future efforts to implement Right to Work policies. With 2,113,534 votes in favor, there is no longer any mathematical path for the amendments defeat.

Tonight, Illinois voters have spoken. Congratulations, Illinois. You are and always will be a workers' rights state.

In Illinois, voters have the chance to create a state constitutional right to collective bargaining – enshrining labor rights in the state constitution. It’s a no-brainer – vote YES on IL Amendment 1. h/t @ILWorkersRights businessinsider.com/illinois-amend…

The Illinois Policy Institute is sending text messages to people in an attempt to discredit this @KSDKNews story. Their texts misconstrue the report, which clearly spells out how we know they’re just making things up to scare people. Hint: they admit it. ksdk.com/article/news/v…

Anti-worker special interests are spreading lies, but nonpartisan news outlets have confirmed the truth: the Workers’ Rights Amendment has nothing to do with taxes. Vote yes for higher wages, more safety protections, and a stronger economy for all! #VoteYesForWorkersRights

"Here, you don't have student loans that you have to pay back. You're getting paid to learn a trade." UA Local 5 showed the folks at @CBSSunday what a UA apprenticeship is all about – and it sets you up for a lifetime of success. Watch the segment: cbsnews.com/video/trade-se…
