Today marks 1 yr since workers went on strike against QSL.
1 yr on the line. 1 yr of sacrifice. 1 yr of uncertainty. Courage grows when workers stand together. A yr on strike can cost everything—but also reminds you what you’re worth. We’ll be here as long as it takes.
From manufacturing to agriculture, over 22,800 industrial customers in Illinois rely on natural gas. Eliminating it would disrupt production, increase costs, and impact consumers. Let’s keep businesses thriving!

We honor the heroes who gave everything for our freedom. 🇺🇸
More than 1.3 M Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice since our country’s founding— each one shaped the freedom we know today. Union solidarity carries forward their sacrifice & continues the fight for our freedom.
