Two million dollars a day.

That's how much Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner wants to fine AFSCME.

Angry that AFSCME Council 31 went to the state courts to block him from imposing labor terms on state workers, Rauner filed an unfair labor practice charge against AFSCME.

A temporary restraining order was issued by an Illinois circuit court judge blocking Rauner from forcing his labor terms on state workers. The temporary restraining order against Rauner requires the state to keep the current contract terms extended until a new hearing expected to be held January 13th.

Rauner wants to demolish collective bargaining and force cuts on state workers. He has refused to sign a state budget for two years because the state legislature and the unions won't let him trample worker rights.

AFSCME says not only is Rauner's unfair labor charge frivolous, but the $2 million a day he claims AFSCME's legal action is costing taxpayers is "total fiction."
