The new contracts cover workers at the Departments of
Agriculture, Central Management Services, Corrections, Historic
Preservation, Human Services, Juvenile Justice, Military Affairs,
Transportation, Veterans’ Affairs, and the Illinois State Police.
The employees are all professional tradesmen and women who work as
stationary engineers and plant operators, plumbers and steamfitters,
and machinists.
The tentative agreements are being submitted to the membership of
the trade unions for a ratification vote. The terms of the tentative
agreements are confidential until the end of the ratification
process.
As a continuation of the productive negotiating sessions, the trade
unions and the Governor’s Office also pledged to form a long-term
relationship to improve employer-labor relations in state
government.
