St. Clair County judge Robert LeChien issues a temporary order blocking the Rauner Administration from imposing contract terms on state workers represented by AFSCME. 

 

Judge LeChien also ordered that any contract provisions that had been recently implemented should be rescinded. LeChien weighed in after the Illinois Labor Relations Board issued a written ruling that talks between Governor Rauner and the union reached an impasse. 

 

AFSCME has filed a "petition for review" of the labor board decision with a Cook County based appeals court.
