My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Illinois
My friend was recently demoted because he failed to stop someone who was on a watchlist at a company. This list is on top of a desk in a building that is accessible to the public, but is usually placed under a basket. The watchlist consists of people who are suspected of stealing from the company and the security guards are supposed to allow him in through the guard shack but are supposed to be searched if he leaves with anything except his lunchbox. If he refuses to allow the security guards to search the items he is leaving with, then they are supposed to call the shift supervisor at the company. I was under the impression, because of a former job, that such lists were against the law in Illinois. Does he have any recourse for this?
