Column: Unions miffed that state Democrats are no longer dancing to their tune – Champaign News-Gazette
Jim Dey: Union leaders failed to win unemployment benefits for striking workers after spending two weeks on the picket line and substantial increases in pension benefits for Tier 2 public employees (those hired on or after Jan 1, 2011). Gov. JB Pritzker also drew their ire for his two-year suspension of state tax credits for new data centers whose construction would provide lots of jobs for union workers.

JB Pritzker’s urging have kept lawmakers in recent sessions from enacting many new programs and passing progressive new policies, are tied directly to the legislature’s past bending of the knee to unions. Those lamentable prior actions, of course, include overly generous pension benefits for state workers and public school teachers.
