I am employed in Illinois by a mid size manufacturer. We have experienced reduced work weeks on and off for last 10 years. There are 4 in my department doing the same job. We had been on a 90% reduction and last week we were advised this would go to 80%. I was then advised that 3 of the people are without spouses, or spouses are on unemployment so as it would cause them a hardship, they would remain on 90% and only I would be reduced to 80%. Can they legally do this?
