“A newly surfaced tax form reveals that in 2022, State’s Attorney candidate Clayton Harris was in fact leading a well-funded, anti-union campaign to deny workers fair wages, worksite protections like bathroom breaks, and the fundamental right to form a union.

According to this 990 tax filing, Clayton Harris was the Chair and President of the “Coalition for Independent Work” campaign, where he led political efforts to ensure workers were not treated as employees so they could be paid less than the minimum wage with no benefits.

Harris led the second half of the anti-worker campaign at the City of Chicago level once a campaign at the State legislature concluded. News reports at the time detailed their efforts to persuade City Council members to vote against minimum wages and fines for assaulting a rideshare driver.”
