Voters Took On Union Membership With Warring Results

In Illinois, 59% of voters passed a first-of-its-kind amendment that enshrines a constitutional right for workers to organize. Not surprisingly, this bill was backed by the AFL-CIO and multiple unions, along with the Chicago Federation of Labor, all of which poured millions into passing this legislation.

Whereas in Tennessee, 69% of voters approved an amendment that solidifies the state’s existing “right-to-work” law, which protects workers’ right to choose whether or not to join a union without fear of being denied employment or being terminated. In doing so, Tennessee becomes one of ten states to constitutionally protect such a law.
