AlterNet reports:

Illinois governor Bruce Rauner watched his anti-union bill called, "Right-To-Work", die a swift, cruel death in the House [May 14]. [...] The the tally [PDF] was 0 yes votes, 72 no votes, and 37 voting present.

Fun with math: The Illinois House has 118 members.

A handful of Republicans went for a walk during the vote, not publicly falling on one side or another.

    Interesting.
    However, there's a thing that you choose to ignore and push ahead a false dichotomy (a corporation going bankrupt because of inefficiency imposed by unionized workers vs no unions at all).

    I haven't heard your "analysis" of corps doing it anyway (no matter unionized workers or not) in the chase for higher profit (H1B and outsourcing in IT anyone?), or of unions working together with the management to find solutions to difficult situations (maybe it doesn't happen in US, but in other parts of the world is not unheard of [ch-aviation.com]).
