The governor really, really wants these “reforms.”

Following a short business meeting, we will hear a presentation entitled, The Impact of Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda on Organized Labor presented by Dr. Amy Seawell, Executive Director of the Illinois Labor History Society.  The ILHS was formed in 1969 and its mission emphasizes the goal of encouraging the preservation and study of labor history materials. Visit their website, www.illinoislaborhistory.org and see how well you do on their labor history quiz! (Hint: Look for the green “Labor History Quiz” button most of the way down the right side).

Need more info? Contact Dianne McGuire, 630-420-8502 and/or check our website,napervilledemocrats.org.

(NOTE: Yes, this is the same presentation we tried to host in July.  But Dr Seawell had some kind of car trouble on her way to join us and was unable to make it that night.  We’re looking forward to hearing from her this week!  Steve)
