Politically Extreme Government Unions Make Desperate Last Stand in Illinois – National Review*

"In Illinois, where plaintiff Mark Janus worked as a state employee, government unions have seen a 9% drop in membership — more than 38,000 workers — between 2021 and 2017, the last full year of data before Janus. To put it in perspective, that is equivalent to a sold-out baseball game at Chicago’s Wrigley Field. Though union membership is shrinking, the voices behind the megaphone keep getting louder. Those voices are also more detached from what workers want."

Don’t forget the politicians who ENABLE the unions to bring our state down.

The day is coming where the only people in Illinois will be public employees, illegal aliens, and welfare recipients.

Good luck when that day arrives because as the system is now they need to take money first from someone who is productive to be able to give it to someone who isn’t.
