In a slow economic recovery, we should be doing more, not less, to spur job growth and economic development. That’s why the International Union of Operating Engineers urges lawmakers to oppose HB3881.
The claim that this is a “green” bill just masks what it really is – special legislation pushed at the last minute by one anti-union company that kills current and future jobs in Cook County.
The IUOE has hundreds of members working in Illinois communities to ensure that waste is disposed of and managed in the most environmentally responsible way we know how. We are proud to do the job because we know how vital a service it is to communities.
The bill will effectively export all of Cook County’s garbage to other counties and other states. But with the trash also goes the jobs and economic benefits. Everyone says jobs are a priority. Yet, HB3881 will shift jobs out of the Chicago area and out of state.
As an organization comprised of 23,000 hard working members, we are urging lawmakers to vote no on HB3881.
