You have probably heard about Gov. Rauner’s executive order to eliminate fair share for 6,500 state workers. We want to stress that members of IEA higher education locals are not impacted by the governor’s executive order.

 Please see additional details in messages below from IEA Chief Counsel Mitch Roth and IEA President Cinda Klickna.

 Roth: Neither the governor’s executive order nor the lawsuit he has filed directly affects higher education members. He is only going after bargaining units of state employees which have collective bargaining agreements directly with the state. He is not currently going after bargaining units of higher education or K-12 employees who have agreements with either higher education institutions or school districts.

 Klickna: There are two important things to understand:

 This does not effect higher education institutions.

 We anticipate the governor will eventually target IEA, IFT and all public employee unions.
