No Contract? A Strike? Replacement Workers? We Discuss AFSCME

NPRIllinois

A lot of uncertainty these days for Illinois members of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees who work for state government.   

The union remains without a contract.  A strike has been authorized, even though no date has been set and there’s decision if it will occur.
