About the Agency
Throughout the State of Illinois the Illinois Labor Relations Board (ILRB) regulates the designation of employee representatives; the negotiation of wages hours and other conditions of employment; and resolves or if necessaryadjudicateslabor disputes. The Illinois Public Labor Relations Act (Act) 5 ILCS 315 (2014) governs labor relations between most public employers in Illinois and their employees along with the labor organizations thatrepresentthese employees. Together with the Illinois Educational Labor Relations Act 115 ILCS 5 (2014) the Act provides comprehensive statutory regulation of public sector collective bargaining in Illinois. It has many similarities to the National Labor Relations Act which regulates collective bargaining matters in the private sector and to the laws of other states that regulate collective bargaining in the public sector.
