Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner Blocks Unions From Collecting ‘Fair Share’ Fees

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) continued his campaign against labor unions on Monday, using executive authority to block public employee unions from collecting mandatory fees from workers.

Rauner’s move adds to the anti-union crusade he began after taking office in January. During his State of the State address last week, Rauner said Illinois should allow municipalities to pass “right-to-work” laws and called for a ban on political contributions from public employee unions.
