The Chicago Federation of Labor, which represents nearly 300 local unions and labor organizations who in turn represent 500,000 workers, is proud to endorse the Orland Integrity Party for Orland Park Trustee.

Of the endorsement, CFL President Bob Reiter said, "The Integrity Party slate’s three candidates—Carole Griffin Ruzich, Kelly O’Brien and Devin Hodge—embody a strong understanding and respect for the issues that are important to working families and labor unions.
“This is contrary to their opposing ticket, the ‘People over Politics‘ slate, which is backed by current Mayor of Orland Park Keith Pekau.

“Keith has publicly denied the fact that he is anti-union, but this could not be further from the truth. Not only is Keith not a friend of labor, he’s also been an ally of anti-union former governor Bruce Rauner.

“We won’t have the opportunity to elect a new mayor until 2021, but in a few weeks, we can elect an independent set of trustees that will ensure workers have a voice in Orland Park. Join me in voting for the Orland Integrity Party on April 2."
