Fair Workweek for Chicago

Lori Lightfoot comes out strong for Fair Workweek for Chicago!

"The passage of a Fair Workweek law will improve stability in the lives of hundreds of thousands of Chicago workers and their families. That’s why I’ve directed my team to bring together stakeholders from the business community, labor unions and other organizations representing the needs of working people to hammer out the final language of the ordinance and get this law adopted as quickly as possible.

And it’s why I’m committed to using the full force of the mayor’s office to passing the Fair Work Week Ordinance that will improve conditions for workers and their families citywide at City Council this month."

Fair and predictable work schedules will lift up Chicago families I fully support a new law that aims to help low-wage, hourly workers juggle unpredictable work schedules, changing shifts, childcare and other responsibilities

Our workforce is increasingly made up of parents, students, and working people who are available to work, but don’t get the hours they need to meet their families’ basic needs. Contact your Alderman to let them know what a Fair Workweek would mean to you.

Unpredictable hours and a volatile income affect workers and their families. The Fair Workweek Ordinance protects those affected most. Read the ordinance, here:

Get the facts: 48% of hourly workers have little to no input into their daily work schedules. View the fact sheet here:
