During this Initial Open Enrollment Period, all current members in good standing are eligible to enroll. No medical questions are asked.  After this Initial Open Enrollment Period, you must complete a Late Applicant Enrollment Form which will require insurance carrier approval. The insurance carrier does not have to offer you coverage after the Initial Open Enrollment Period is over.

Effective January 1, 2024 the City of Chicago Sick Leave Policy Addendum will end. This is ONLY the Sick Leave Policy Addendum. The COVID-19 Vaccination Policy will remain in effect and unchanged.

In short what this means is that employees will no longer be paid if they contract COVID and will have to use their own benefit time to cover any absence due to COVID.

This is just the latest gamesmanship the City has played to try and weaken the position of the Union to our members. We have been fighting the implementation of the COVID policy since it’s inception and have two decisions from the ILRB confirming that the City was wrong and it must rescind the policy, yet they continue to appeal these decisions. We will remain diligent and continue to battle them in the courts until a fair and just decision is achieved for our members. But for now keep in mind that you will no longer be paid for a COVID a related absence, the same as any other illness, such as the flu, etc., and you must use your own benefit time to cover those absences.

This year we have seen some major changes in the way our members are valued through a historic contract that changes the lives of so many of our members and their families.

The Officers of LiUNA Local 1001 have remained focused on how to best advance and improve the lives of our members and because of your help and support we have been able to accomplish just that. None of this could have happened without YOU, the members of our great Union.

This year we salute the hardworking men and women of Local 1001 with the short video below. From new members to those who served for years, we want to recognize and thank all of you. We encourage everyone to watch and share it to show your pride in what LiUNA members do every day to keep Chicago a world class city.

On behalf of myself and the entire Executive Board we wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year.
