The State of Illinois will *not* lay off 26 hundred workers at state prisons as part of an arbitration agreement reached Monday.  You'll recall last summer Governor Pat Quinn announced the layoffs and a mandatory furlough program to save the state money.  The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees took the issue to court where a judge halted the layoffs.  The new agreement stops layoffs through June of next year, except those of correctional facilities that are closing in other areas of the state.
