A Message from the Business Manager of LiUNA Local 1001

Click to access MayorjohnsonPR07282026c.pdf

July 28, 2026 For Immediate Release

Mayor Johnson’s NOT the Working Man’s Mayor if you’re a member of LiUNA Local 1001

The Mayor’s hand-picked Commissioners’ in the Department of Aviation, Michael McMurray, and the Department of Transportation, William Cheaks Jr., have been treating the members of my Local Union, LiUNA Local 1001, like indentured servants, without rights or the value of the work they do every day for the City of Chicago.

Most of the members of Local 1001 are middle class working men and women with families who go to work every day and just want what’s coming to them. They don’t need to be insulted, degraded and abused by these two rogue Commissioners who think they are Kings and not public servants. When you think it’s OK to treat your fellow employees without respect and that they should just take what you give them, then there is a problem with YOU, not them.

This Mayor is continually trying to sell the notion that he is for the working men and women and how his administration if focused on the black and brown citizens of Chicago. Yet, when it comes to his employees, of which LiUNA Local 1001 consists of over 1,900 members who a vast majority are black and brown, he treats them completely different.

The examples of this disrespect for the hard-working men and women of Laborers Local 1001 have been mounting for months now and it’s about time the members and the voters in the City of Chicago are informed of these unfair, unjust and anti-labor incidents.

Commissioner McMurray of CDA is intentionally shorting members contractually mandated pay raises and reducing their paid holiday days off, amongst other contract violations that harm our members.

Commissioner Cheaks of CDOT has NO problem suspending members without due process, sending hundreds of men and women home for days without pay, ignoring the collective bargaining agreement on numerous other issues, and thinking he can do whatever he wants because he has Mayor Johnson’s blessing.

Mayor Johnson, and his Commissioners, Cheaks and McMurray, are forcing Local 1001 to go to arbitration on the most basic of issues, which costs the taxpayers of the City of Chicago tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and hundreds of hours of City employee hours and resources. And for what, to prove they are the Boss?

Mayor Johnson, the charade is over, your treatment of your devoted, hardworking, Local 1001 Laborers by your Commissioners is out there for all the public to see. The three of you should be ashamed of yourselves and are a disgrace to the term public servant for how you treat our brothers and sisters of LiUNA Local 1001.

from the Business Manager – Great Job Everyone!

To all City of Chicago Residents,

Chicago has experienced some very cold weather over the last few days, including a record breaking -11°F for January 23, with windchills as low as -36°F. Countless businesses and schools across the City were closed on Friday due to the extremely low temperatures.

One thing many people don’t know, or notice, is the men and women of LiUNA Local 1001 were out there doing what they do each and every day, on the streets, in the alleys, at the airports, in the Loop, everywhere our Laborers’ work they showed up as they always do and kept the frigid cold City running.

These are the City workers that we keep hearing may be subject to a future layoff due to a budget shortfall. These are the men and women who braved the insane wind chills over the last several days to service the City of Chicago. My response to the layoff rumors, and that’s all they are, is stop with the threats. Your Budget has been short every year you have been in office, and since you were out voted this time you want to punish the people who keep our City running. Look somewhere else. The members of LiUNA 1001 pay their fines and water bills or they get disciplined, the members of LiUNA come to work in the extreme cold and the extreme heat, there are no “closed” days for them.

The members of LiUNA 1001 are not looked at as first responders but they are out in the elements when everyone else is sitting in a nice warm office or working from home.

Here’s a simple question for everyone, were all your City services that the Laborers’ perform completed at the end of this week? The answer is YES! They came to work, they did the work, and they should be respected and recognized for the great work they do each and every day.

As a City taxpayer, a life-long City resident and a proud member of LiUNA Local 1001, I want to personally say Thank You to all of the men and women of Local 1001 who really stepped up this week.

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