Right to Work Amendment
Set to appear on November 8, 2022 Election Ballot, the proposed Amendment 1 to the Illinois Constitution (also known as the “Right to Work” Amendment) “would prevent commonsense reforms to reduce homeowners’ tax burdens while giving government union leaders virtually limitless new ways to demand higher costs from taxpayers. If it passes, Illinois’ trend of large annual property tax increases will likely grow faster than ever. Gov. J.B. Pritzker has failed to deliver on his promise of property tax relief during his term – the average family paid $1,913 more during his administration.”

“Teachers unions tout support for a constitutional amendment that threatens to raise property taxes over $2,149. Illinoisans already pay the nation’s second-highest property taxes.
Teachers unions are pushing for a change to the Illinois Constitution that would significantly boost their bargaining power as well as Illinoisans’ property tax bills – by at least $2,149.
The Illinois Federation of Teachers and Illinois Education Association have mounted a social media campaign to proclaim their support for Amendment 1, the so-called “workers’ rights” amendment. Their union websites also tout support for the amendment, which would drive up costs as taxpayers are forced to fund expensive contracts and a new range of demands allowed under the amendment.”
NOTE: The Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB) is OPPOSED to Amendment 1 – https://www.ilga.gov/legislation/Witnessslip.asp?LegDocId=171008&DocNum=0011&DocTypeID=SJRCA&LegID=&GAID=16&SessionID=110&GA=102&SpecSess=&Session=&WSType=OPP
