Illinois voters will decide whether to enshrine the right to unionize in the state constitution – WBEZ (Chicago)

Put simply, passing this amendment would protect pro-union rights from the whims of future legislatures and governors. For example, that would prevent legislators from making Illinois a Right to Work state, in which a worker cannot be compelled to join a union as a condition of employment.

Thank you, NPR, for making a valid argument for voting “NO” on Amendment One. Shouldn’t workers have the right to decide whether or not to join a union? Apparently NPR promotes citizens losing that freedom.
