Even by changing the Illinois Constitution, Illinois cannot grant union rights to employees in the private sector or govern their relationships with private employers, including private hospitals or doctors’ offices. Only the federal government can do that. In fact, the rights granted under Amendment 1 would apply to just 7% of Illinoisans aged 18 and over.
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
