Narrative:
While working hand off; I heard one of the monitors ask one of the radar controllers to 'try him again' since they needed to make an airspeed adjustment and he wasn't on frequency. By the time the monitor had informed him; both aircraft were right next to each other at the same altitude. The monitor is required to make sure their aircraft is on the respective local frequency prior to losing standard separation. I believe this happens on a routine basis at C90. Management doesn't take the requirement seriously; so a large number of the controllers do not take it seriously either.
