“The citizens of Illinois must be prepared for the demands of the innovative workforce of the future,” said Marcus C. Evans, Jr., Assistant Majority Leader and Chairman, Labor & Commerce Committee. “As leaders I believe that we must ensure that the regulations and policies of the future effectively promote job growth, while protecting the working class. I’m proud to work alongside Governor Pritzker and my colleagues to make Illinois a workforce destination.”
“Good afternoon all, today is a great day at local 308 – Governor Pritzker will be signing legislation into law to reduce our RHCT from 3% to 1%, which will allow our members to get 2% of their salary back,” said Eric Dixon, President of ATU Local 308 and Deborah Cosey-Lane, Secretary-Treasurer of ATU Local 308. “This is so wonderful for our low wage members, as well as other people at the CTA. As leaders we are always trying to find ways to help our members out and this is a great start, we want to thank everyone that’s involved.”
