The study also showed, however, that the overall percentage of the state’s workforce that was in a union declined from one year ago.The analysis by the pro-union Illinois Economic Policy Institute and the Project for Middle Class Renewal at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign showed that union membership statewide grew a little more than 2 percent, to 752,063, over the previous year. That was still below the 2017 level of 828,066.
“There’s certainly strong indicators that some significant renewal is likely to happen, that this is more than just some sort of oddity in the labor markets,” he said.

SPRINGFIELD – As voters in Illinois prepare to decide on a state constitutional amendment that would guarantee workers the right to organize, a new study shows union membership in the state grew last year for the first time in four years.
In addition to their o wn findings, Bruno and IEPI’s Frank Manzo pointed to a Gallup survey released Aug. 30 that showed 71 percent of Americans approve of labor unions That’s up from 64 percent before the pandemic and is the highest approval rate Gallup had recorded since 1965.
But unionization rates have been grow ing in the private sector, which was not affected by the Janus ruling, as more and more workers have begun to organize in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The second sentence would prohibit the General Assembly or any local govern ment from interfering with that right or from enacting right-to-work laws
Council 31. In that Illinois case, the court said the state could not require public sec tor employees to pay what are known as “agency fees” to their unions – the part of a union’s membership dues that cover the cost of collective bargaining.
The proposed amendment, which will be on ballots in the Nov. 8 general election, would add a new section to the state constitution’s bill of rights The first sentence would establish a “fundamental right” of employees “to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiat ing wages, hours, and work ing conditions, and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work.”

Overall, 13.9 percent of Illinois work ers were represented by a union, down from 14.2 percent the previous year and 15 percent in 2017.
