HB3940 legislation took effect January 1, 2022 and requires auto technicians represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) to be compensated fairly for warranty repairs. 

We have seen this legislation play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of our state's workforce, economy, and equitable distribution of wealth.

If a rollback were to be enacted, it would result in an immediate pay cut for the thousands of highly trained and skilled technicians and working people repairing vehicles in Illinois.

HB3940 was more than upholding fairness; it was a decisive step towards maintaining a thriving automotive industry, protecting the pay of technicians, and ensuring Illinois remains an attractive hub for automobile repair.

I stand with IAM International Union, IAM Local 701, Illinois AFL-CIO and Chicago Federation of Labor urging you to vote “No” on any repeal of HB3940 and protect working families in Illinois.
