The Illinois law cutting pensions for public employees is on hold, blocked by a court order as a result of suits brought by workers and their unions. Labor went to court because cutting public worker pensions is against the Illinois state constitution. The law was to have taken effect June 1st. The We Are One Illinois labor coalition cheered the judge’s order. Illinois AFL-CIO President Michael Carrigan says the ruling is an important first step in efforts to overturn an unconstitutional law and to protect retirement security for working people in Illinois.
