IL HB5427

Creates the Mass Transit District Labor Relations Act prohibiting public employees and employee organizations of mass transit districts from engaging in, causing, instigating, encouraging, or condoning strikes.

Establishes penalties for violations including removal or disciplinary action for individual employees; chief executive officer determines violations and notifies employees within 30-90 days that twice-daily pay rate will be deducted for each day of violation.

Allows employees to object to violation determinations by filing sworn affidavit within 20 days; if chief executive officer sustains objection or hearing officer finds no violation by preponderance of evidence, all deductions cease and previously withheld amounts are refunded.

Requires Illinois Labor Relations Board to determine if employee organizations violated the Act, considering whether the organization called or tried to prevent the strike and made good faith efforts to terminate it; violations result in forfeiture of organizational rights for specified period.

Mandates chief legal officer to seek injunctive relief when employees threaten or engage in strike activity; requires chief executive officer to publish report within 60 days of strike termination detailing circumstances, termination efforts, responsible employees, and sanctions imposed.
