 "We genuinely hope AFSCME leadership will choose not to strike
against taxpayers and work with us on implementing common-sense
proposals like overtime after 40 hours, not 37.5,” Rauner General
Counsel Dennis Murashko said. “However, we must be prepared to
continue government operations and provide services that citizens
deserve and expect,” Murashko said.
Every year the state receives tens of thousands of applications from
Illinois residents interested in state government. This website
streamlines the job application process by allowing citizens to
provide basic information about the location and type of work they
would be interested in performing. For citizens interested in
applying for specific job titles, the existing job application
process remains in place.
 This website is part of the Rauner Administration’s on-going attempt
to modernize the state’s technology services to better serve
taxpayers, as well as to prepare for a possible strike against
taxpayers by AFSCME.

Submissions to the website would provide a way for state agencies to
efficiently identify those who could work on a temporary basis.
Although individuals would be hired on a temporary basis in response
to the strike, the State would then begin taking the steps necessary
to fill positions permanently.
The Rauner Administration has signed labor agreements with 20 unions. The
Administration’s proposal includes earning overtime after 40 hours instead of
37.5, pay based on performance rather than seniority, reasonable testing of drug
and alcohol use if suspected on the job and allowing volunteerism at state
facilities like state parks.
