SEIU Illinois Files Unfair Labor Claim on Home-Care Work
On Friday, the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) filed unfair labor complaints on behalf of home care workers in Illinois. There are approximately 24,000 worker represented under this complaint who care for disabled residents for $13 an hour. On May 1st, Gov. Bruce Rauner implemented new restrictions on overtime pay that were not discussed during contract negotiations. Representatives believe that these new changes will "punish disabled residents".
