The largest public employees union in Illinois said Governor Pat Quinn is a hypocrite and its members took their complaint to the state Capitol one day after the governor gave his State of the State speech.
AFSCME said Quinn's announcements of new programs don't square with his stance that Illinois is too broke to afford union pay raises.
The union represents prison guards, welfare counselors, and thousands of clerical and administrative state employees.
AFSCME said it's time for Quinn to change his mind and pay the raises state workers were guaranteed.
