ANDREW ADAMS, Capitol News IllinoisThe Secret Service is joining forces with Chicago police this week in Washington, D.C., even though the DNC isn't until August 2024.Ahead of next summer's Democratic National Convention in Chicago, top Democratic officials on Tuesday signed a "labor peace agreement," reinforcing Democrats' longstanding ties to organized labor and limiting potential disruptions at the highly watched event.
Pritzker was a major force behind the campaign to lure the DNC to Chicago, with the city beating out Atlanta and New York in the bid to host the gathering. "Illinois is one of the most pro-worker states in the country, guaranteeing paid leave for all, making collective bargaining a constitutional right, creating well-paying jobs by growing our economy and raising the minimum wage to a living wage," Pritzker said.
"No one on this stage has a greater incentive for economic development to occur in those communities that have been dried out for some time, as someone who is raising their family in one of them," Johnson said.The Chicago Federation of Labor and nine other unions signed the agreement with the DNC.
