Central Illinois company’s workers vote to oust union – Center Square

Another group of workers in Illinois have rallied and voted to kick a union out of their workplace. Workers at Tri-State Asphalt in Morris voted to cut ties with Teamsters Local 179. The vote – conducted by the National Labor Relations Board Region 25 – was one-sided, with 80% of the employees voting to reject the union. Mark Mix, president of the National Right to Work Foundation, said the practice is becoming more common. "A union member today is more likely to be involved in a vote to try to get the union out of their workplace as a nonunion member is to get the union into the workplace," said Mix.
