Democratic Party of Illinois Chair Lisa Hernandez released the following statement following the passage of the historic Workers’ Rights Amendment:
“This election, workers were on the ballot — and this election, Illinoisans voted to ensure workers the right to negotiate for higher wages, improved benefits, and safer working conditions. That not only makes our workers stronger, but also strengthens our economy and our entire state.”
“Our workers are the backbone of our state — and it’s thanks to our labor unions and Illinois workers that we’re celebrating the passage of the Workers’ Rights Amendment as the historic victory that it is for working families in every corner of our state.”
