Union threatens strike at Illinois attorney general's office

The State Journal Register reports:

A union representing 250 employees in Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office has authorized a strike after a year of negotiations.

Eighty-eight percent of the Illinois Federation of Public Employees, a group of paralegals, clerical staff and paraprofessionals, authorized the strike, according to a news release. The group is seeking a one-time stipend instead of a pay increase, but a Madigan spokeswoman called the request “outrageous and unrealistic.”

Great moments in lawlessness!
