Most are allowed to go on strike and can bargain over
virtually anything.1
It creates an uneven playing field, with unions able to
demand costly provisions in their contracts and threaten
to strike – denying Illinoisans needed services – to get
what they want.2
Until recently, the potential monetary influence of
unions3
been adequately investigated.
Using records from the Illinois State Board of Elections, the
Illinois Policy Institute performed an in-depth study of the
contributions received by current members of the state’s
General Assembly during 2019-2020.4
ANALYSIS
That analysis revealed more than $15.7 million flowed directly from
unions and union political action committees to the campaigns of
current lawmakers during 2019-2020.
But those millions don’t tell the whole story. To better put that $15.7 million
in context, the Institute’s review also found:
The majority of sitting lawmakers – nearly 88% – received money
from unions. More than one-third of the General Assembly received
more than 20% of their campaign funds from unions. Some lawmakers
received even more, with two members receiving more than half of
their funding from unions and union political action committees.
Democratic lawmakers were the main recipients, receiving nearly
95% of the direct union contributions. Of the more than $15.7 million
dollars unions contributed to state lawmakers’ political campaigns in
2019-2020, over $14.9 million (94.9%) went to Democratic members.
Recipients included 109 of 110 Democratic lawmakers who campaigned
in 2019-2020.
On the Republican side, 42 of 62 who campaigned in 2019-2020 received
funds from unions, but the overall union share of those lawmakers’
receipts from unions was lower than those of their Democratic counterparts.
Contributions
from businesses or other associations paled in comparison
to union contributions. While businesses frequently come
under fire for corporate lobbying, records with the Illinois State Board of
Elections show unions’ direct contributions were more substantial.
For example, ComEd and its parent company, Exelon, together directly
contributed just over $173,000 to lawmakers campaigning for election in
2019-2020. That compares to $2.7 million contributed by affiliates of the
American Federation of Teachers and $1.9 million given by affiliates of
the Service Employees International Union.
Unions also funneled money to candidates in other ways. Besides
direct contributions, unions also directed millions of dollars to Democratic
Party campaign funds and former party chairman Michael J. Madigan,
who re-directed money to candidate campaigns.
In other words, the $15.7 million isn’t the only money unions used to fund
sitting lawmakers who campaigned in 2019-2020. Why does this influx
of union money to lawmakers matter? Because money is influential and
can drive legislative decisions.5 In fact, union pressure contributed to the
demise of multiple pieces of bipartisan legislation during the 2021 session.6
Most
sitting lawmakers – nearly 88% – received money from unions,
totaling at least 20% of funding for more than one-third of the
Illinois General Assembly. The majority of current lawmakers received
funds from unions in 2019-2020, with 151 of the 172 who campaigned
receiving contributions.7
Perhaps more compelling is just how large a share these union contributions
were of lawmakers’ total funds, with more than one-third of lawmakers
receiving 20% or more of their funding from unions. Many lawmakers
received more.8
The share of lawmakers’ contributions coming from unions helps explain
the unions’ hold over what happens in the Illinois General Assembly –
including whether popular bipartisan bills are passed or rejected.
Democratic lawmakers received nearly 95% of direct union contributions.
Unions demonstrated a clear political leaning in their campaign
contributions. Not only did nearly all Democratic lawmakers who campaigned
in 2019-2020 receive money from unions, but the overall
amount of union contributions to Democratic lawmakers vastly outweighed
that contributed to Republicans.
Of the more than $15.7 million dollars unions contributed to lawmakers’
political campaigns in 2019-2020, over $14.9 million (94.9%) went to
Democrats.9
Unions also funneled money to candidates in other ways. While
unions funneled over $15.7 million to lawmakers in 2019-2020, that
doesn’t represent the full amount.. That’s because unions can contribute
to candidates in multiple ways, including:
• Direct contributions to lawmakers’ campaign committees (i.e., the
$15.7 million)
• Contributions to political party committees, which then pass funds to
the lawmakers’ campaign committees
• Contributions to Michael Madigan’s campaign committee, which
then pass funds to lawmakers’ campaign committees.
CONCLUSION
Unions’ monetary power over lawmakers cannot be precisely determined
– in part because unions funnel money to candidates in multiple ways –
but the union block of contributions appears to be unmatched in Illinois.
In 2021, this influence helped unions kill bipartisan legislation that otherwise
carried popular support.
Evidence of unions’ financial contributions to sitting lawmakers, and the
relative weight of those contributions in comparison to funding from other
entities, cements unions as a lobbying powerhouse in Illinois. Not only
do current labor laws favor unions over residents, but clearly unions use
their wallets to ensure their power to advance their interests ahead of the
interests of others.

Housing affordability has been an ongoing concern surrounding the home building industry, as factors such as lot and labor
shortages continue to impact housing prices. The issue was compounded in 2021 by skyrocketing material prices, which had far
-reaching effects on multiple aspects of the building industry, including affordable housing through organizations such as Habitat
for Humanity and teaching materials for much needed skill labor courses.
Lumber price spikes sidelined buyers during a period of high demand, and forced builders to put projects on hold at a time
when home inventories were already at a record low. Record-low mortgage rates helped to offset some of the rising costs at the
beginning of the year, but many home buyers continued to be priced out of the market. NAHB research also noted a greater disparity
for housing affordability challenges among minority households.
NAHB closely monitored the administration’s response to these housing issues, while actively engaging in dialogue and challenging
inefficient efforts around the factors contributing to a lack of housing affordability:
• NAHB Senior Officers Bring a Housing Agenda to Capitol Hill (April 15, 2021)
• Bringing Housing Home: Rising Lumber Prices Tops the Agenda (April 21, 2021)
• NAHB Continues to Engage the Administration, Congress on Lumber (April 30, 2021)
• Move to Double Lumber Tariffs Shows White House Does Not Care About Housing Affordability (May 22, 2021)
• Real Estate Industry Unified Against White House Tax Proposals (May 24, 2021)
• NAHB Tells HUD to Prioritize Housing Affordability (June 24, 2021)
• NAHB Chairman Urges Congress to Boost Lumber Production from Federal Lands (June 29, 2021)
• NAHB Urges Congress to Enact Policies to Help Builders Boost Housing Production (July 14, 2021)
• Biden Administration Announces Steps to Increase Affordable Housing Supply (Sept. 1, 2021)
• NAHB Calls on Biden to Act on Lumber and Supply Chain Bottlenecks (Oct. 7, 2021)
• Action on Supply Chain Bottlenecks, Tariffs Needed to Boost Housing Affordability (Oct. 20, 2021)
• NAHB Joins With Key Lawmakers to Stand Up for Housing (Oct. 20, 2021)
• NAHB Leaders Discuss Lumber Tariffs with Canadian Officials (Dec. 6, 2021)
• GOP Lawmakers Hear Firsthand Account on How Supply-Chain Woes Delay Home Construction (Dec. 9, 2021)
Housing affordability has remained steady over the course of these efforts: According to the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity
Index (HOI), 56.6% of new and existing homes sold during the second and third quarter of 2021 were affordable to families
earning the U.S. median income of $79,900. However, it’s still the lowest affordability level since the beginning of the revised
series in the first quarter of 2012.
NAHB will continue to be outspoken on the challenges surrounding housing affordability and work diligently to ensure that
they are taken into account as part of any housing efforts on Capitol Hill.

Working in construction can be dangerous. Workers
can be exposed to hazards such as falls, powered and
heavy equipment, and harmful chemicals. Before your
employees step on the jobsite, be sure they are familiar
with the basic safety hazards and understand how
to protect themselves while at work.
NAHB has published a new safety video toolbox
talk, Safety Basics, to help home builders familiarize
their staff with the hazards of a residential construction
site. While construction work can be inherently
dangerous, understanding hazards and creating a safety
plan to address them will help keep everyone safe
on the jobsite.
The first step is recognizing the most common causes
of construction site injuries, like:
• Falling from heights
• Electrical shock
• Defective or unsafe equipment
• Falling objects
• Improper ladder usage
• Manual material handling
• Trench cave-ins and collapses
NAHB has detailed video toolbox talks on each of
these hazards. But for new workers, perhaps as a part
of orientation, the Safety Basics video (below) covers
the most important topics.
