Illinois is home to about 153,000 federal workers who are not getting paid due to the government shutdown. At the Treasurer’s Office, we want to help and are working with banks and financial institutions to offer these workers zero-interest or low-interest loans during these difficult times.

Trump is attacking unions by canceling contracts for hundreds of thousands of federal workers.
In this office, we don’t just watch from the sidelines. We use our role as shareholders to support workplace safety, fair wages, and the ability to organize.
