Now law is a measure that makes it a violation for Illinois employers to hold what’s called captive audience meetings to discuss religion or politics. Business groups say it’s unconstitutional.
Without explaining the measure, Governor J.B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 3649 Wednesday at an AFL-CIO event in Chicago.
Employer groups opposed the measure. Noah Finley with the National Federation of Independent Business told a committee in March the measure is a violation of employers’ rights.
Unions say the measure prohibits anti-union rhetoric during mandatory meetings. Employers groups say employees need to know how unionization could negatively impact the workplace relationship.
