A Message from GP Terry O’Sullivan on MLK Day

Honoring the Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it remains as important today as it was during Dr. King’s lifetime that each of us commits to fighting for the better world he envisioned, where people are measured by their character and their actions. We must continue the work he began to realize his dream of an America free of the scourge of racism and extremism.

Dr. King saw the cause of labor and the fight for civil rights as inextricably linked. Unions have always been at the forefront of the movement for social, economic, and racial justice. We must make our unions bigger, stronger and more active, so the uplifting and equalizing power of collective bargaining contracts are available to all.

We can make Dr. King’s dream real so that every American, regardless of religion, ethnicity, gender, wealth or the lack of it, has equal rights and equal opportunity. But we have to act to achieve his dream. We must speak out forcefully and unequivocally against bias, bigotry and racism whether it is in our community or in our halls of power.

On behalf of myself, General Secretary-Treasurer Armand E. Sabitoni, and the entire LIUNA General Executive Board, I ask you to join me in continuing to fight for the legacy of Dr. King and his vision of a better America.

Contract Negotiations Update

The Coalition of Unionized Public Employees (COUPE), came to several important tentative agreements with the City of Chicago yesterday during a 17-hour bargaining session. It is important to note that COUPE negotiations are not complete, and that once the COUPE portion of negotiations are complete, we still must complete Local 1001 specific negotiations before we have a contract. But given the significance of the agreements reached yesterday, we wanted to update you and make sure you have accurate and timely information. To be clear: these are not all of the agreements we have made so far, but a brief summary of some of the agreements that have been reached.

Once the contract is ratified:

1. Sick Time: Hourly employees will begin to earn one half of a paid sick day for each month worked. These sick days will roll over. Salaried employees will continue to earn a full paid sick day each month.

2. Carry Over Days: Employees with less than ten years of service will be able to carry over 5 days (instead of 3), and employees with ten or more years of service will be able to carry over 7 days (instead of 5).

3. Holidays:Veterans’ Day is now a paid holiday for all eligible employees.
Juneteenth is now a paid holiday for all eligible employees.

4. Prevailing Rate Pay: Prevailing rate employees will continue to be paid the prevailing rate.

5. Salary Titles Pay: Those is salary titles will receive the following increases:
Effective (retroactively) July 1, 2022, 3%
Effective (retroactively) January 1, 2023, 3%
Effective January 1, 2024, a base of 3% on up to 5% depending on inflation
Effective January 1, 2025, a base of 3% on up to 5% depending on inflation
Effective January 1, 2026, a base of 3% on up to 5% depending on inflation
Effective January 1, 2027, 3.25%

6. Bonus: Pandemic bonuses for those that were on the payroll between July 1, 2022 and the date of ratification. $1,000 on January 1, 2024 and $2,000 on January 1, 2025. Whether you retire before then or not you will get both payments.

7. Single Call in Days: Employees can use 9 vacation days as single call-in days (instead of the current 6).

8. Single Scheduled Days: Employees can use 9 vacation days as scheduled single days (instead of the current 6).

9. Deferred Compensation Match: The City will match the following amounts into employees’ deferred compensation (457) accounts:
In 2023, up to $500 per year
In 2024, if the employee puts in at least $500 the City will put in $750
In 2025, if the employee puts in at least $500 the City will put in $750
In 2026, if the employee puts in at least $500 the City will put in $750
In 2027, if the employee puts in at least $500 the City will put in $875

  1. Health Insurance Premiums: There will be no increase in the percentage of health insurance premiums paid by the employee.

    Again to make this perfectly clear, these provisions are not yet in place, and will not be in place until there is a contract, which might not be for several months. But the City has agreed to each of them once there is a contract. There are still numerous issues that are still outstanding, and we will continue to update you as we progress through the negotiations.

Thanks for you continued support and the hard work that all of you do every day.

We’re Stronger Together, We’re Union and We Ain’t Going Nowhere!

Merry Christmas for LiUNA Local 1001

December 24, 2022

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The challenges and obstacles we have faced in 2022 as a Union have been overwhelmingly addressed and resolved all due to the strength of the men and women of this local union.

Your dedication not only to your work but to your Union has not gone unnoticed by the Officers, Executive Board and Staff of LiUNA Local 1001.

Your strength and support during the year has moved and inspired us to keep driving forward in our commitment to make this Union the strongest it has ever been. With your support we have once again proven to the City, and the citizens of Chicago, the great benefit of having Union Public Sector Laborers working in all aspects of city services, including Aviation, Sanitation, Transportation and so many others. The value, each and every one of our members bring to the table every day is an affirmation that our members are the men and women that keep Chicago moving day in and day out.

Without your hard work we would never have been able to have so many new positions added to our membership this year and we never ever would have had the opportunity to have worked with the City and announce that for the first time in modern history Local 1001 has ZERO seasonal layoffs. We could not have done this without your help and the hard work that you do every day.

On behalf of myself, Secretary Treasurer Victor Roa, and the entire Local 1001 Executive Board, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Healthy New Year.

We’re Stronger Together, We’re Union and We Ain’t Going Nowhere!

Happy Thanksgiving 2022

On Behalf of Business Manager Bob Chianelli, Secretary Treasurer Vic Roa and our entire Executive Board and Staff, we wish all of the hard working members of Local 1001 and their families a Happy Thanksgiving.

We’re Stronger Together, We’re Union and We Ain’t Going Nowhere!

A Solemn Salute to Our Armed Forces

November 11, 2022

A Solemn Salute to Our Armed Forces

On this Veterans Day and Remembrance Day, we solemnly and gratefully salute our veterans for their honor, courage, and patriotism. The men and women who serve and have served in our armed forces across the United States and Canada are a constant reminder of the sacrifices of those who proudly, faithfully, and honorably protect our democracy and our freedom. Many veterans are wounded, taken prisoner, or make the ultimate sacrifice with their lives for the good of our countries. It is their dedication, commitment, and loyalty – many of them LIUNA members and loved ones of LIUNA members – that form the bedrock of our two great nations.

Time after time, they have answered the call for Americans, for Canadians, and for people around the world. It is our duty to ensure that when they return home, they and their families have access to health care and economic opportunities. It is unacceptable that too often veterans struggle to meet their basic needs when their service ends. Veterans should be able to return to their families to live in prosperity with good family-supporting jobs and access to top-notch health care.

On behalf of myself, General Secretary-Treasurer Armand E. Sabitoni, the entire LIUNA General Executive Board, and each of the half-million men and women of LIUNA, I thank the veterans in our lives, in our union, and in our countries. We are forever in their debt.

IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO HAVE YOUR VOICE HEARD – PLEASE VOTE!

Today is election day and you still have time to have your voices heard. Please get to the polls and cast your vote. The Workers Rights Amendment is the first thing on your ballot, voting YES on this will insure EVERY worker in Illinois will have the right to bargain for better pay, working conditions and benefits. Please if you vote for nothing else, make sure to check YES to the first thing on your ballot today.

Vote Yes to the Workers Rights Amendment!
