- Illinois AFL-CIO unlikely to withhold endorsements
The Illinois AFL-CIO has deferred decisions on legislative and statewide endorsements due to dissatisfaction with Springfield's handling of key priorities, including a Tier Two pension fix and unemployment insurance bills (HB2565 and HB4416). Unions criticized legislative processes and opposition from business interests and local schools, while Governor JB Pritzker's pause on data center tax breaks may force negotiations.
