The head of AFSCME says a state worker strike is a “real possibility,” unless the Quinn administration backs away from some of its demands in ongoing contract talks with the union.
Appearing live on 970 WMAY, Henry Bayer says Governor Pat Quinn has insisted on changes in health care benefits that would cut the take-home pay of state workers by thousands of dollars a year.
Bayer says the next round of talks, at the end of this month, should give a clear indication as to whether there is room for negotiation… or whether a strike may be inevitable.
