The act specifically requires the final contract between a government unit and the union representing its employees be subject to inspection and copying. But government union leaders could override the act by demanding provisions in those contracts that prohibit public access. That would make those contracts secret. Taxpayers would never see them, yet be forced to pay for them and whatever costs they contained.
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.
All the contracts will be made under the “Cone of Silence”
