An effort to get the state’s largest labor union and the Governor together on a new contract has spilled over to hearings at the Labor Relations Board. ASFCME and the Governors’ staff appeared Monday during a hearing on the impasse. An administrative law judge will now issue a decision on whether or not the two parties are really at a standstill. If the judge decides in favor of Rauner he will then be free to dictate the terms of the next union contract to AFSCME members.
