Editorial: Vote no on the Workers’ Rights Amendment – Crain’s

But beyond that foundational legal argument, there's a practical matter at issue. Passing the WRA would showcase expanding union power in a state already considered a bastion of organized labor.

In fact, it’s the very last thing this state needs. Bestowing special constitutional status on unions would give companies one more reason to avoid Illinois.
