1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, the State of Illinois ensures the right to use | ||||||
3 | sick leave benefits provided by employers for absences due to | ||||||
4 | illness, injury, or appointment of an employee or their family; | ||||||
5 | and
| ||||||
6 | WHEREAS, the Federal Railway Labor Act was passed in 1926 | ||||||
7 | and amended in 1936 to include airplane employees; the Act was | ||||||
8 | designed to prevent disruptive strikes by facilitating a system | ||||||
9 | of bargaining and arbitration to resolve Major and Minor | ||||||
10 | disputes between rail and plane employees and their employers; | ||||||
11 | and
| ||||||
12 | WHEREAS, the Federal Railway Labor Act limits the State of | ||||||
13 | Illinois by excluding rail and plane employees from receiving | ||||||
14 | the same benefits for family sick leave as those employed | ||||||
15 | across Illinois; and
| ||||||
16 | WHEREAS, the right to use earned sick days for family | ||||||
17 | emergencies is protected by law in the State of Illinois and by | ||||||
18 | the Federal Family and Medical Leave Act, and the exclusion of | ||||||
19 | rail and plane employees is detrimental to their well-being and | ||||||
20 | the safety of their families; therefore, be it
| ||||||

| |||||||

1 | HUNDRED FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||

5 | to rail and plane employees that are available to employees | ||||||
6 | across the state; and be it further
| ||||||
7 | RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be | ||||||
8 | delivered to the Illinois Congressional Delegation.
