Amendment 1, also called the Workers’ Rights Amendment, makes collective bargaining a constitutional right that can’t be legislated or contracted away. It goes further than any state ever has in barring right-to-work laws—and any other legislation that “interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively.”
In order for the state to file bankruptcy they would need federal help to change laws. So they shouldn’t expect federal help? No problem as the state has massive power to increase revenue or cut other spending. I guess more tax increases for all.

By a better than 2-to-1 margin, Tennessee voters Tuesday, Nov. 8, approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine the state’s right-to-work law in the state constitution, making it more difficult for future legislatures to change how workers who decide to join a union can collect union dues.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
Another step towards Illinois state bankruptcy. More power to you, just don’t expect federal help.
