Protect the future hospitality workers of the Thompson Center Redevelopment!

Governor J.B. Pritzker

The State of Illinois wants to sell the publicly-owned Thompson Center to private developer JRTC Holdings. BUT this developer has made NO COMMITMENT about the quality of the hospitality jobs that will be created by the redevelopment. Illinoisans deserve better than low- wage, poor benefits jobs at the redeveloped Thompson Center.

Join us in urging Governor J.B. Pritzker to STOP THE SALE of Thompson Center until there is a commitment from the developer that any hospitality jobs created by the Thompson Center Redevelopment will be good jobs!

Dear Governor Pritzker,

There is a very big difference between having a good hospitality job and a low-quality hospitality job. Good jobs can change lives and transform communities.

The hospitality workers who will be employed at the redeveloped Thompson Center deserve good jobs – where workers make enough to support their family, have good, affordable health insurance and can retire with dignity. But without a good jobs commitment, we could be stuck with low-wage, poor benefits hospitality jobs at the Thompson Center for years to come.

I urge you to stop the sale of the Thompson Center to until there is a commitment from the developer that any hospitality jobs created by the Thompson Center Redevelopment will be good jobs.

Sincerely,
