Amendment 1, the Illinois Right to Collective Bargaining Measure is on the ballot in Illinois as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 8, 2022.

A "yes" vote supports amending the Illinois Constitution to:

• state that employees have a "fundamental right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating wages, hours, and working conditions, and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work" and

• prohibit any law that "interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively."

A "no" vote opposes amending the Illinois Constitution to:

• state that employees have a "fundamental right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing for the purpose of negotiating wages, hours, and working conditions, and to protect their economic welfare and safety at work" and

• prohibit any law that "interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively."

I plan on voting for it.
