FAQ
A state that has a law prohibiting union security agreements is a so-called “Right to Work” state. In these states, employees in unionized workplaces cannot negotiate employment contracts which require that all benefitting members contribute to the costs of the representation in negotiation.
Ing to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more jobs have been created in Right-to-Work states as opposed to the other 49 states without Right-to-Work laws. Where employees enjoy the privilege of exclusive representation, unions have the responsibility of representing all workers during contract negotiations.
Georgia is a "Right-to-Work" state. This means that workers may not be required to join a union or make payments to a union as a condition of employment. This protects a worker who is not hired, or is fired, due to refusal or unwillingness to join a union only.
In Utah, as in most states, employees work “at will,” which means they can generally be fired at any time and for any reason, or for no reason at all.
To summarize, Illinois is not a right-to-work state. The state's legislative landscape reflects a commitment to collective bargaining, union rights, and labor relations characterized by negotiated agreements between employers and unions.
As of April 2019, Illinois is not a right-to-work state. The legislation was signed into effect by Governor J.B. Pritzker, which rolled back the protections that Lincolnshire had established in 2015. The decision was later overruled by the federal court, which ruled that only states have the authority to adopt laws.
At-will employment solely focuses on either the termination of an employee or when an employee leaves. Right-to-work statutes make employers offer the choice of joining a union or not, but limit their ability to terminate employees if they choose to represent themselves.
