BLOOMINGTON (Heart of Illinois ABC) – The acting director of the Illinois Department of Labor Jane made herself available to answer questions and introduce herself to workers in Bloomington Normal Wednesday night.

Local Trades and Labor President Adam Heenan says this was a very unique opportunity for labor unions and workers to pick the brain of the state’s head of labor.

“There’s a need in our community to talk about working conditions and labor in our county and the four county area,” said Adam Heenan, President of the Bloomington-Normal Trades and Labor Assemble.

Heenan says he hopes to make educational sessions like Wednesday night a more common or even annual occurrence.
