Oppose Constitutional Amendment That Would Push Legitimate Compensation Components Off the Bargaining Table

Tell Your Senator to Oppose HJRCA 49

House Joint Resolution Constitutional Amendment 49 (Madigan, D-Chicago) is now pending senate action. HJRCA 49 would require any pension benefit modification that is being considered by the General Assembly to require a 3/5ths majority vote to pass. The constitutional amendment would also require that any local collectively bargained agreements be approved by a 3/5ths majority vote if those agreements had incentives or additional compensation increases beyond salary.
