(Springfield, IL) — Now that a court has blocked Governor Rauner’s effort to impose contract terms on the state’s largest union, Rauner is blaming the union for holding up the bonuses he’d promised most state workers. The thousand-dollar bonuses were part of Rauner’s last contract offer, along with changes to overtime rules and increasing the work week to 40-hours. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees is fighting Rauner’s contention that he can unilaterally impose contract terms because the Illinois Labor Relations Board has declared negotiations at an impasse.
