Diocese
Urges Defeat of SB 1556
The Evangelical
Catholic Diocese of Northwest urges the Illinois State Senate to
defeat SB 1556 -
which aims to
cut back collective bargaining rights for certain state employees,
particularly newly unionized workers in administrative roles.
According to
Bishop James Wilkowski, “Union workers, who provides the taxes
revenues for our state and national government, have become the
targeted scapegoats by those who have failed in their stewardship of
our tax revenues and we each hold a moral responsibility to protect
those who are having their rights and voices stripped from them”
The Diocese of
the Northwest calls for a sound and decisive defeat of SB 1556.
