Half a dozen Chicago Anti-Bashing Network members picketed outside the Center on Halsted benefit Saturday at the Hyatt Hotel on Wacker. Some gay union backers are upset that the Center’s anchor tenant is going to be Whole Foods, which is accused of union-busting in some of their stores. ‘The Illinois Federation of Labor has joined forces with the LGBT community in the struggle for our civil rights by endorsing amending the Illinois Human Rights Act to add us as a protected class. In return, It makes good sense politically to support union recognition,’ organizers stated on their flyers. Photo by Tracy Baim
