AFSCME is telling state workers to start preparing for the possibility of a strike.
A memo from the union says it hopes that a work stoppage won’t be necessary, but says it may be the only way to stop the Quinn administration from imposing benefit cuts that could drastically reduce take-home pay.
The union memo advises workers to start setting aside money from each paycheck now to serve as an emergency fund in case of a walkout.
The memo does not give any timeline for when a strike might take place.
