[IUOE Local 150 @Local150]

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.

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

Tonight, Illinois voters have spoken.

Congratulations, Illinois. You are and always will be a workers' rights state.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

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.

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. https://t.co/1sRf2jFqiK

[Team JB @teamjb_hq]

YES for Workers’ Rights and YES for @JBPritzker and @JulianaforLG.

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

WORKERS' RIGHTS FACT CHECK: Anti-worker organizations are spreading lies about the Workers' Rights Amendment impacting taxes. But their own data shows they aren't telling the truth.

SEE FOR YOURSELF | Special interests are using scare tactics and spreading misinformation, but the language of the Workers' Rights Amendment is crystal clear.

Here's exactly what you'll see on the ballot — see for yourself ⬇️

@RepCheri So sorry for your loss, Cheri. Condolences from all of us at the Pipe Trades

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

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!

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

FACT CHECK: "We can verify the passing of Amendment 1 does not guarantee a property tax increase. There is no language in the amendment regarding property taxes."

Thank you @UAPipeTrades for the endorsement. In Congress, I won't work for the political party or an elected leader, I will work for the hard working men and women here in #IL17.

[Vote Yes for Workers' Rights @ILWorkersRights]

Proud to be with so many hard working Illinoisans for an old fashioned rally. Thank you to to Plumbers Local 130 UA for hosting.

Now let’s get out and vote #yesforworkersrights!

[United Association @UAPipeTrades]
