Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
820 ILCS 35/3
(820 ILCS 35/3) (from Ch. 10, par. 21)
Sec. 3.
The application shall be signed by the employer or by a majority of
his or her employees in the department of the business in which the controversy
or difference exists, or by both parties, and shall contain a concise
statement of the grievances complained of, and a promise to continue on in
business or at work without any lockout or strike until the decision of
said Department, if it shall be made within 3 weeks of the date of filing
said application. As soon as may be after the receipt of the application
the Department shall cause public notice to be given of the time and place
of the hearing thereon; but public notice need not be given when both
parties to the controversy join in the application and present therewith a
written request that no public notice be given. When such request is made,
notice shall be given to the parties interested in such manner as the
Department may order, and the Department may, at any stage of the
proceedings, cause public notice to be given, notwithstanding such request.
The Department may in all cases summon as witnesses any operative or expert
in the department of business affected, and any person who keeps the
records of wages earned in those departments, or any other person, and
examine them under oath, and require the production of books containing the
records of wages paid, and such other books and papers as may be deemed
necessary to a full and fair investigation of the matter in controversy.
The Department may issue subpoenas, and oath may be administered by the
Director of the Department or by any authorized officer or employee
thereof. If any person, having been served with a subpoena or other process
issued by the Department, shall willfully fail or refuse to obey the same,
or to answer such questions as may be propounded touching the
subject-matter of the inquiry or investigation, the circuit court of the
county in which the hearing is being conducted, upon
application by the Department, duly attested by the Director thereof, shall
issue an attachment for such witness and compel him to appear before the
Department and give his or her testimony, or to produce such books and
papers as may be lawfully required by the Department; and the court may
punish for contempt, as in other cases of refusal to obey the
process and order of such court.
