Chicago suburb becomes first ‘RTW Zone’ in Illinois [View all]
Lincolnshire, IL – Illinois has its first “right to work zone” after a vote by trustees in this Chicago suburb. A legal challenge is expected to follow.
The village board of Lincolnshire passed an ordinance Dec. 14 establishing the RTW zone.
When the issue was being pushed earlier this year, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan issued a formal opinion saying such action can only be taken at the state level.
Illinois AFL-CIO political director Bill Looby expects the ordinance to be challenged in court.
