* Tom Balanoff has been president of SEIU’s Illinois State Council since 1995. He’s one of the most powerful union leaders in the state, but his union membership is overwhelmingly non-white…
The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Illinois State Council swore in a new president this morning. Greg Kelley, current president of SEIU Healthcare Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas is succeeding Tom Balanoff, becoming the first Black president in the Council’s history. The SEIU Illinois State Council represents 150,000 Illinois workers in health care, property services and public sectors through SEIU Local 1, SEIU Local 73 and SEIU Healthcare Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Kansas (SEIU HCIIMK) — the majority of whom are frontline, essential workers.
The historic announcement of Kelley’s leadership comes at an important moment for labor advocacy in Illinois, as workers across the state win higher wages, better conditions and stronger protections.
“It is a great honor to step up, especially at a moment when workers are fighting harder than ever to win racial and economic justice,” Greg Kelley said of the announcement. “We’re at a crossroads: Are we going to keep the status quo, where corporations have all the power and the economy is rigged against working people? Or are we going to build a future where all Illinoisans, no matter where you’re from or what you look like, can thrive? That’s what we’re fighting for as a union of working people, and I couldn’t be prouder to help lead us forward.”
Kelley is president of SEIU HCIIMK, which represents 90,000 healthcare, child care, nursing home and home healthcare workers across the four states. His 20-plus years in the labor movement began when Kelley was a rank-and-file SEIU member at the Cook County Clerk’s office, organizing his colleagues to win better pay and conditions. His organizing work grew from there, and he was named president of the fastest-growing union in the Midwest in 2020.
“Tom Balanoff’s leadership has resulted in political and legislative victories benefiting working families throughout our state,” said Dian Palmer, president of SEIU Local 73. “Local 73 looks forward to working with Greg Kelley to further strengthen all our members through the 2022 elections and beyond.”
“I am privileged and honored to have served the members of SEIU and fought for all workers. SEIU has spoken with one voice, and it’s helped us organize thousands of workers, changing their lives with strong contracts. We have been a strong, independent political force in Chicago and throughout Illinois and never hesitated to fight for social and economic issues that benefit all workers,” said Tom Balanoff. “We have been in the forefront fighting for racial justice, immigration reform, health care for all as well as many other issues of social and human rights. I have a lot of confidence in Greg Kelley’s leadership and his collective leadership of all of SEIU in Illinois. Greg and his team will not only keep Illinois SEIU strong but will take it to the next level.”
Balanoff recently informed SEIU Local 1’s Executive Board that he will be retiring at their March 2022 Membership Meeting. Genie Kastrup, SEIU Local 1’s Executive Vice President, will move up to the position of Vice President of SEIU Illinois State Council.
“Genie Kastrup is a strong and smart addition. She will bring a lot of value to the SEIU Illinois leadership team,” said Balanoff.
“I definitely have big shoes to fill,” said Kelley, “Tom’s track record is unmatched, and his leadership is transformative and inspiring. I look forward to continuing his legacy of empowering the workers of Illinois.”
Props to SEIU’s members, many of whom have helped keep this state functioning during a very long crisis.

* Good point…
Also weird that Griffin is focusing all of his Chicago crime ire on the governor, but has yet to say one negative thing about the mayor who, um, directly controls the police department.
Also, too, Griffin will be funding a gubernatorial candidate who is not named Jesse Sullivan but who will presumably have the same opinion about blaming the governor and not the mayor for Chicago crime.

* Comedy gold…
Ex-Democrat Illinois governor turned “Trumpocrat” Rod Blagojevich said he believes current Gov. J.B. Pritzker tried to keep him in jail because the Democrat establishment is “afraid of what he knows” and “what [he] will say soon.” […]
“J.B. called Trump not once, but twice, joining with most Republicans to say, ‘Keep him in, don’t let him out. Keep him in, don’t let him out,’” he told the attendees, his voice echoing and his hands moving excitedly as he recounted the story.
“….Why did he do it? ” he continued, before foreshadowing his willingness to expose the underbelly of his former party:
I truly believe its because J.B. Pritzker, Governor Pritzker and some of the Democratic political establishment is very fearful. They’re very fearful of what I know, and what I can say, and what I’m likely to say, and what I will say soon. That’s why I think that he did that.
This dude has been promising to say what he “knows” for years, but nothing ever happens, not even in his much-anticipated book. Even so, some people still believe him, or want to believe him. He’s a hustler, give him credit. He knows that some of the people can be fooled all of the time.
Later in the above story they have some goof claiming that Blagojevich was very popular when he was governor. Not at the end.
* October 23, 2008…
Overall, the survey of 500 registered likely voters conducted at the end of last week showed a mere 10 percent said they wanted Blagojevich re-elected in 2010, while three-fourths said they didn’t want him back for a third term.
The survey also showed only 13 percent approved of Blagojevich’s job performance, while 71 percent disapproved.
That poll was released almost seven weeks before RRB was arrested.

* Tribune…
The Illinois Federation of Teachers has endorsed former state Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias’ bid for the Democratic nomination for secretary of state in next year’s primary, his campaign announced Monday.
“Alexi Giannoulias understands the importance of a strong public education system, spanning from pre-K to higher education, and is committed to supporting Illinois educators,” said Dan Montgomery, president of the organization and its more than 100,000 members.
“The office of the secretary of state oversees libraries and how young people learn to drive. These are critical issues of importance to our membership,” Montgomery said in a statement.
With the IFT’s endorsement, Giannoulias has secured backing from some of the largest members of the Illinois AFL-CIO, giving him an edge in getting support from the state’s largest organized labor group when it convenes next year ahead of the June 28 primary.
He’s got labor just about wrapped up.
* Another one…
Today, the Illinois Federation of Teachers announced their endorsement of Nikki Budzinski in the IL-13 Democratic primary. The Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT) represent a massive 103,000 members across the state of Illinois. They represent teachers, paraprofessionals and school-related personnel, higher education faculty, staff, and graduate employees, and public employees in many Illinois state agencies.
The Illinois Federation of Teacher’s endorsement is the latest in a broad coalition of support that Budzinski is building, including U.S. Senator Dick Durbin, EMILY’s List, State Treasurer Mike Frerichs, Rep. Sean Casten, Rep. Cheri Bustos, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, State Senator Christopher Belt, Assistant Majority Leader Jay Hoffman, House Democratic Caucus Chair LaToya Greenwood, State Representative Katie Stuart, UFCW Local 881, United Steelworkers (USW), IBEW Locals 51, 146, 193, 309, 601 and 649, Communications Workers of America (CWA), Sheet Metal Air Rail and Transportation Workers’ Union, Heat and Frost Insulators, Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), Associated Fire Fighters of Illinois (AFFI), Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers (BAC) Local 8, Elect Democratic Women, Pastor T. Ray McJunkins, County Chairs Bill Houlihan (Sangamon), Mark Pohlman (Jersey), Paul “Snow” Herkert (Calhoun), Ben Curtin (Christian) and Pam Monetti (Macoupin).
* And another one…
Today, the Illinois Federation of Teachers (IFT) announced the early endorsement for the Illinois Supreme Court (3rd District) judicial race in the June 2022 Primary Election.
The IFT Executive Board unanimously voted to endorse Judge Mary Kay O’Brien for Illinois Supreme Court (3rd District).
Much is at stake in state supreme court elections since justices wield tremendous power to limit our freedoms. Now more than ever, it is crucial to elect justices who will protect collective bargaining, defend public education, and support the rights of working families.
“Since the start of her career, Judge O’Brien has been a strong supporter for Illinois’ working families,” said IFT President Dan Montgomery. “Her deep ties to the community, history of public service, and extensive experience will make her a fair and impartial justice.”
* Meanwhile…
Today, Congresswoman Marie Newman announced that she had received the endorsement of the Amalgamated Transit Union Illinois (ATU), ATU Local 308, and ATU Local 241.
The Amalgamated Transit Union is the largest labor union representing transit and allied workers in the U.S. and Canada. ATU Locals 308 and 241 represent 16,000 active and retired PACE and CTA bus, rail, and transportation workers in Chicago and Cook County.

* December on this blog means two things: Golden Horseshoe Awards and LSSI fundraising. Let’s get to the fundraising first.
Foster care is just one of many programs offered by Lutheran Social Services of Illinois. Mariah Heinz at LSSI explains the importance of the program…
With a history of helping children and families that dates back to 1867, LSSI is the largest provider of foster care services in Illinois. LSSI’s programs include Therapeutic Foster Care which is designed to meet the unique needs of children who have experienced severe trauma and abuse/neglect, providing services such as counseling and specialized training for foster parents, working to keep these children in homes rather than institutional settings.
Working together, LSSI’s staff, foster parents, donors, and volunteers make a difference in the lives of children across our state. LSSI’s Foster Care Services help over 2,700 children every year. These are children and families in communities in 42 counties throughout Illinois. At LSSI, there is no greater role than being entrusted with the care of children. As one of our foster care staff stated so eloquently, “We’re not here to just provide a service, but to give children in foster care their own calling.
Lutheran Social Services of Illinois has been near and dear to my heart and to many of yours for a long time. LSSI not only runs a foster care program, but they also do home care for senior citizens, provide free mental health crisis services, collect Christmas gifts for foster kids and so much more.
This state’s social safety net relies on outstanding groups like LSSI to provide much-needed services. But they can’t do it on government money alone. They need our help, which is why we stand up for them every year.
So, please click here and donate. And to get y’all in the giving spirit, I’ll match the first $2,000 in contributions. Thanks so very much and happy holidays!
* On to the Golden Horseshoe Awards. This year’s award categories will be similar to last year’s, which were a bit slimmer than usual. Our first 2021 categories…
Best legislative assistant/district office manager - House Democrats
Best legislative assistant/district office manager - House Republicans
Please try your best to nominate in both categories. And remember to explain your answer or your vote will not count. This is not a poll. Nomination intensity matters most.
And after you’re finished voting, please click here to donate to LSSI. Their goal is to provide a Christmas gift for each of the 2,530 children served by LSSI.
*** UPDATE *** We’ve reached the $2,000 mark, so I’ve made my matching donation. Thanks! Click here to donate.

Get well soon, Rep. Jones
Monday, Dec 6, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller
* Daily Southtown…
Calumet City Mayor Thaddeus Jones, who is also a state representative, tested positive Friday for COVID-19 during a regular test, according to a city spokesman.
Jones has been vaccinated and is in quarantine at home and experiencing “very minimal complications,” according to Sean Howard. His family also has been vaccinated.
Howard said Jones is usually tested every three days and had tested negative as of Tuesday and had not been in City Hall since. Staff members, who have been vaccinated, have been notified of the positive test, according to Howard.
Jones was one of the House Democrats who did not respond to WBEZ’s inquiry about his vax status and he didn’t reach out to me, either. I just updated the post I did about the story, and it looks to me like there may be only one unvaxed House Democrat, not the 11 originally listed.
…Adding… Rep. Rita Mayfield just emailed to say she “never received an inquiry regarding my status but for the record I’m fully vaxed!!” So, yeah, we’re waiting on just one House Democrat at the moment.

* Mary Miller got elected to Congress and immediately began gulping Potomac water by the gallon. She rarely talks about her district. To her, it’s all about the Hollywood stuff. And her Illinois colleagues aren’t exactly feeling sorry for her remap predicament of being mapped in with Mike Bost but right next door to Rodney Davis…
“I do not feel sorry for Mary Miller,” said Rep. Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), who represents Chicago and also chairs the state Democratic Party.
“I think Mike Bost is a decent human being. I think Rodney Davis is a decent human being. And I don’t recall them ever speaking lovingly of Adolf Hitler,” said Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.). […]
Bost said he called Miller a month ago, before he announced his campaign. “I asked her to get back with me. She had never got back to me,” he said in a brief interview Thursday on the Capitol steps, where Miller passed by her potential opponent soon after, on her way inside to vote. […]
Throughout her first term, Miller has formed alliances with members of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus, at times putting herself at odds with the House GOP conference. […]
“If she chooses to run against Bost, he’s going to beat her. If she chooses to run against Davis, Davis is going to beat her,” [Bustos[ said. “Literally, whatever she picks, she’s going to lose.”
* Recent case in point: Eighty House Republicans voted with Democrats last week to pass the Immunization Infrastructure Modernization Act. Miller voted against it and then told the far-right Breitbart publication why…
Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL), who was one of the 130 Republicans to vote “no,” told Breitbart News exclusively on Wednesday that the legislation would enable the federal government to “track” unvaccinated Americans who “will be targeted and forced to comply with Biden’s crazy ‘global vaccination’ vision.”
“These systems are designed to allow for the sharing of crucial information and maintenance of records. Do we really trust the government to protect our medical records?” Miller said. “The bill’s author even bragged in her press release that these systems will help the government remind patients when they are due for a recommended vaccine and identify areas with low vaccination rates to ensure equitable distribution of vaccines. This was clearly a legislative tool to enforce vaccine mandates and force their Orwellian rules onto those who do not comply.” […]
Miller noted that the legislation paves the way for the government to give blue states millions in taxpayers funds to enforce vaccine mandates. According to the bill’s text, the government could award grants and cooperative agreements to health departments or other local governmental entities for agreeing to adopt the new data collection guidelines set by the CDC. Any agencies hoping to receive a grant must agree to comply with security standards to protect personal health information.

It’s just a (headline) bill
Monday, Dec 6, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller
* Yeah, um, there’s this thing called Obamacare which protects the rights of those with preexisting conditions and those whose health status has changed, regardless of whether those things resulted from self-centered stupidity or partisan derangement syndrome…
The bill is here.
* This has been the obvious case for months…
(E)mployers like Delta Airlines have announced that unvaccinated employees could face a $200 monthly surcharge on their health insurance.
“Employers, through wellness programs, can impose a higher cost on people who are unvaccinated outside of the health plan. Employers can provide incentives and penalties to their employees,” Amin said.
But can insurance companies charge higher premiums for the unvaccinated like they can for a smoking status?
“The Affordable Care Act and other federal laws prohibit insurers from charging more for people who are not vaccinated. But employers through incentive programs may and can increase people’s cost if they are unvaccinated,” Amin said.
* From Healthcare.gov…
All Marketplace plans cover treatment for pre-existing medical conditions and can’t terminate coverage due to a change in health status, including diagnosis or treatment of COVID-19.
The only reason to hope this bill passes and is signed into law is the potential spectacle of pro-covid lawyers like Tom DeVore defending their clients by citing Obamacare’s protections. 🙃
…Adding… Hannah Meisel…
Employers are taking advantage of the wellness program option in order to incentivize vaccine uptake among their workforces. Companies including Delta Airlines have announced plans to begin charging unvaccinated employees more in health insurance premiums. Delta announced the change in August and began implementing it last month.
Private companies aren’t the only ones trying out the strategy; Nevada could become the first state to add a surcharge to unvaccinated state employees’ premiums after a board that oversees state worker benefits voted last week to charge $55 monthly to unvaccinated workers. The money is meant to offset the cost of COVID testing for those who haven’t gotten their shots.
Wisconsin-based Mercyhealth, which operates three hospitals in northern Illinois, has taken a slightly different tact. Instead of higher insurance premiums, Mercyhealth introduced a $60 monthly “risk pool fee” for unvaccinated employees, which began getting dedicated from their wages in October.
After the new policy’s announcement in September, Mercyhealth told NPR last month that its employee vaccination rate rose from about 70% to 91%, with very few workers quitting in protest.
In other words, there are ways around this without advocating violating federal law with headline bills.

ILRB sends FOP’s ULP vax claim to judge
Monday, Dec 6, 2021 - Posted by Rich Miller
* As we discussed a month ago, the city appeared to be violating state labor laws when it imposed its vax mandate on cops, firefighters and other employees. The Illinois Labor Relations Board noticed the same thing…
The Chicago police unions’ unfair labor practice claims against the city over its COVID-19 vaccine mandate will be heard before a judge, the state’s labor board has determined.
Leaders of the Fraternal Order of Police and other local police unions allege the city failed to bargain in good faith over its vaccine policies, and the Illinois Labor Board said in a newly issued complaint it will hold a hearing on the matter.
The labor board issues a complaint when it finds that an unfair labor practice charge has sufficient merit to warrant a hearing, though it is not a final determination.
Police union leaders argued that the city’s vaccine policies involve “wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment and is a mandatory subject of bargaining.” They also argued that Mayor Lori Lightfoot implemented her rules “without first bargaining the impact of the decision to impasse or agreement.”
And, as we previously discussed, those union leaders were right. They’ll probably lose in arbitration, but they are exercising their rights under state law until then.

* My weekly syndicated newspaper column…
One of the things that I most certainly did not have on my 2021 legislative Bingo card last January was that an Oak Park liberal Democratic Senate president and the state’s first Black House speaker would be fighting multiple legal claims that their new state legislative district maps deprive protected minorities of their constitutional rights.
And the ante was upped last month when both men went on record opposing an attempt by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc., Chicago Westside Branch NAACP and NAACP Chicago Southside to intervene in the redistricting case.
The brief was filed in U.S. District Court. The groups asked to intervene because, they claim, the reduction of Black-majority legislative districts in the new maps was unconstitutional.
The NAACP hoped to join lawsuits already filed by the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund and the NAACP of East St. Louis that contend the maps were drawn in violation of the federal Voting Rights Act, which protects minority interests. Illinois Republicans have filed another lawsuit on the same grounds.
But attorneys for Senate President Don Harmon and House Speaker Chris Welch argued that amicus briefs at the trial level are highly unusual, the motion was untimely (“due to the necessary yet breakneck speed of this case, Defendants are already tasked with responding to three plaintiffs’ submissions and nine expert reports in a matter of twelve days”) and would prejudice the defendants’ case (“by seeking to inject new claims and new relief into the case at this late stage, the NAACP denied Defendants the opportunity to test their claims through motion practice and discovery.”)
You gotta do what you gotta do in cases like these. I’m not trying to imply anything nefarious here, and both leaders have firmly maintained their maps will withstand constitutional scrutiny, but you gotta admit it’s very weird and a little unsettling watching all of it play out.
Meanwhile, the NAACP’s own filing mentioned the group had earlier sent a letter to Gov. J.B. Pritzker “expressing concerns over the lack of engagement with the Black community in the redistricting process and the negative impact of S.B. 927 on Black representation in the Illinois General Assembly.”
A letter sent by the NAACP to Pritzker, dated Sept. 22nd, complained the map legislation was “developed in a top-down manner, with little opportunity for actual engagement from community-based groups such as the NAACP.”
The NAACP also complained in the letter that it wasn’t able to adequately assess the impact of the new maps without weeks of work because of the data’s format.
“In short, the process used by the state deprived residents of the opportunity to have their voices heard.”
The organization then asked the governor to delay any action on the remap plan until Oct. 19th.
“This will give the NAACP and other groups a chance to take part in the democratic process and to provide you with maps that we believe are fair and preserve the voting power of Black voters in the state legislature.”
Pritzker, who won the 2018 Democratic primary partly because of strong support in the Black community and who pledged during the campaign to veto a politically partisan redistricting bill, signed the remap legislation two days after the NAACP sent its letter, claiming the maps “align with the landmark Voting Rights Act and will help ensure Illinois’ diversity is reflected in the halls of government.”
Again, weird and unsettling.
Oh, and, by the way, the legal pushback from the two legislative leaders did indeed prevent the NAACP from having a major say in the outcome of the redistricting case.
The three-judge federal panel hearing the case ruled last week they would accept the groups’ proposed amicus brief “for limited purposes.”
The court will consider the insights offered by the civil rights groups “into the history of racially polarized voting in Illinois.”
But, more importantly, the panel decreed the judges won’t allow the organizations to assert any new claims or challenge any districts beyond those already under review by the court.
The judges explained the remap plan has been out there in the open since the end of August, all of the existing complaints were filed by the middle of October, and the litigants “have been proceeding at a greatly accelerated pace” ever since. “That process was fast approaching its conclusion by the time the [NAACP’s] motion was filed, and there is no time for a do-over,” the judges wrote.
So, the super-majority legislative Democrats dodged a potentially harmful legal bullet on timing grounds alone.
…Adding… Just noticed this media advisory…
WHAT: A Federal lawsuit that may decide the future voting rights of thousands of East St. Louis voters for the next decade hangs in the balance as a decision is expected this week. Civil rights groups will hold a news conference on Monday, December 6 to give an update on the lawsuit filed earlier this month in federal court challenging Illinois lawmakers and officials on a state redistricting map (SB 927) that blatantly dilutes the power of Black voters in the East St. Louis area. The case, which has been combined with two other cases also alleging statewide gerrymandering, is expected to be heard in a consolidated hearing by a three-judge panel in federal court sometime next week.
WHO:
Teresa Haley, President, NAACP Illinois State Conference
Rod Wilson Interim Executive Director, United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO)
Faith-Based Leaders from East St. Louis
Residents Impacted by New District Lines from the current House District 114, and future House Districts 112 or 113 will address the impact that the new law will reduce their voting power.
Plaintiffs: NAACP and the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO)
Legal Team: Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and Cooley, LLP.
ONLINE: Lawsuit | November Legal Brief
WHERE & WHEN:
3 p.m., Monday, Dec. 6, 2021
600-698 Illinois 15, East Saint Louis
WHY: The NAACP and the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) are challenging Illinois lawmakers in a federal lawsuit that is set to be heard this week for unlawfully drawing racially gerrymandered districts that crack apart the Black community of the East St. Louis area in order to secure the election of a white incumbent in a nearby district.
The lawsuit alleges that race played a decisive role in the redistricting of Illinois House District 114, where one-fifth of the Black voting-age population was moved out of the newly redrawn district and thousands of white voters were added to the district. This was done for the benefit of white Democratic incumbents in neighboring House Districts 112 and 113, while jeopardizing the prospects of the candidates of preference of Black voters in House District 114 — the only Black district in southern Illinois. The complaint alleges that this manipulation violates the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution and Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
“By substantially increasing the number of white voters and breaking up the historically Black population of House District 114, the Illinois General Assembly has seriously diminished the voting power of the Black community in East St. Louis. They have taken away Black voters’ right to elect the candidate of their choice,” says Rod Wilson, Interim Executive Director, United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) and former resident of East St. Louis.
The civil rights groups are filing the lawsuit on behalf of the East St. Louis Branch of the NAACP, the Illinois State Conference of the NAACP, and the United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) against the Illinois State Board of Elections and its members, along with Speaker of the House, Christopher Welch, and President of the Senate, Don Harmon. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division.
The groups are seeking to freeze the redistricting plan and adopt a proposed revised map in order to protect voters’ rights — fixes that would cure the legal violations and keep the geographically compact and politically cohesive Black community of the East St. Louis area together.
