The so-called “Human Services Workforce Advancement Ordinance” now being considered by the City Council does nothing to advance human services or the work force that we are honored to participate in and serve in our mission for the betterment of Chicago.
The proposed ordinance, which up until recently sat in a committee for three years, requires nonprofits to enter into an unfunded “labor peace” or collective bargaining agreement with a union, whether or not our employees have asked for that representation.
