Legislation Would Prevent Police Union Contracts from Overriding State Law

WBGZ Radio 4/27/2021 | By Kevin Bessler - Illinois Radio Network Police reforms has been a hot topic in Illinois and around the nation, and now lawmakers are going after police union contracts. A new study by the nonpartisan Illinois Policy Institute reveals that police contracts are hindering internal investigations, making it difficult for police chiefs to get rid of problem officers. Illinois labor law contains a provision that elevates collective bargaining agreements above state law. Section 15, included in the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, states union-negotiated contracts override all other state laws and regulations. Analysis by IPI found the 10 largest municipalities in Illinois, outside Chicago, all have provisions in their police collective bargaining agreements that would supersede internal investigations and officer discipline. They include Joliet, Rockford, Springfield, Champaign, Naperville, Peoria, Aurora, Elgin, Waukegan and Cicero.
