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.

    Those filthy workers, scheming to negotiate a fair wage while those poor executives that add nothing to the value of the company take well over 10x their salary! If only free market values were in force, where the executives could take 100x the salary of their subsistence wage employees. Dammed unions!
