Illinois Attorney General announced legislation that would protect workers from retaliatory conduct by employers, strengthen current protections under state law, and codify the authority of Raoul’s Workplace Rights Bureau to investigate
and hold employers who retaliate or threaten to retaliate accountable.
The legislation would fill existing voids in labor enforcement that leave workers unprotected from often-devastating employer retaliation when they seek to enforce their rights or blow the whistle on unlawful employer practices.
