IL HB3313

Amends the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act to add penalties for violations of good faith bargaining requirements, including liquidated damages equal to any monetary make-whole relief ordered by the Board unless the employer demonstrates good faith and reasonable grounds for compliance.

Creates new Section 11.5 authorizing the Board to order make-whole relief including consequential damages and front pay for employees or labor organizations injured by unfair labor practices.

Requires the Board to determine whether serious violations of good faith bargaining have frustrated the Act's purposes and, if so, to include interest arbitration as a remedy, with parties continuing to have a duty to bargain in good faith during arbitration.

Specifies that the right to strike is not waived until the actual arbitration hearing convenes and that commencement of a new fiscal year does not impair the arbitration panel's jurisdiction or authority.

Modifies Section 14 to clarify that disputes under Sections 11 and 18 are subject to the mandatory mediation and impasse arbitration procedures for security employees, peace officers, and firefighters.
