Leading business groups that took part in a task force about “quality jobs” denounced the panel’s recommendations Tuesday for how government and the private sector could foster them.
The task force report, called “Future of Work in Illinois,” did not reflect a consensus of its 36 members and the group never discussed many of the published recommendations, said a joint statement from the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association and the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce. All were represented on the task force.
