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.

    even the smallest comprehension of the history of American industry will know that unionization destroyed it.

    Uh-huh. And what's your take on the destruction of the housing market? All those people signing contracts that they didn't understand and/or couldn't afford?

    Industry destroyed itself. Signing union contracts it couldn't afford, but knew that it could get out of through perpetual reorganization, which is why everyone shit themselves when Obama put an end to it for GM.
