Governor Urges Voters to Pressure GA to Allow Right-to-Work Zones

Illinois’ Governor is touring the state encouraging voters to contact their lawmakers about Right-to-Work zones. Governor Bruce Rauner says he isn’t advocating for a statewide Right-to-Work law, but says it’s up to local voters to put the pressure on the legislature to allow for local choice when it comes to issues like forced unionization, project labor agreements and prevailing wage.

Rauner says it will be a difficult battle to get lawmakers on board with a local Right-to-Work initiative, but he says with enough pressure from voters there could be legislation passed to allow counties and municipalities to pass so-called Right-to-Work zones.
