Illinois State Senator Karina Villa, Democrat from West Chicago, has been keeping a full schedule as she continues her campaign for Illinois Comptroller. Last week, she joined members of QSL America and Local 150 at the Illinois International Port District’s Iroquois Landing site to show her support for union workers calling for fair labor practices and safer working conditions.
Villa stood in solidarity with workers holding signs that read “QSL America: Respect Workers’ Rights!” alongside the iconic inflatable “Scabby the Rat,” a long-time labor symbol. The demonstration was part of a larger effort to advocate for improved labor standards and respect for employees in Illinois’ supply chain industries.
In a social media post following the event, Villa wrote, “These men and women are the backbone of our supply chain, keeping Illinois a global leader in commerce. I will never back down from a fight to protect our workers. #UnionStrong.”
As Villa continues her campaign trail for Illinois Comptroller, her recent participation underscores her longstanding commitment to supporting organized labor and championing workers’ rights throughout the state.
