Illinois public workers rally at state capitol to protest pension system disparities.
Thousands of Illinois public workers rallied at the state capitol, demanding changes to the Tier 2 pension system, which offers fewer benefits than the Tier 1 system for those hired before 2011.
Lawmakers have introduced bills to address these disparities, proposing adjustments to retirement ages, cost-of-living adjustments, and pension caps.
The reforms aim to reduce recruitment and retention issues among public workers, while acknowledging the high cost to taxpayers and the state's $140 billion pension shortfall.
