IL HR0222

Urges the Department of Labor to issue revised posting requirements informing employers and employees that retaliation or firing is prohibited for disclosing workplace violence risks from current or former domestic partners.

Identifies a communication gap where employees at risk from domestic violence partners fear reporting threats to employers due to potential retaliation.

Notes that Illinois law under 820 ILCS 180 already protects employees from retaliation for disclosing domestic violence workplace risks, but this protection is not widely known.

Emphasizes that clear posting language about anti-retaliation protections would encourage more employees to disclose threats, enabling employers to take necessary safety precautions and potentially save lives.

Directs delivery of the resolution to the Department of Labor Acting Director Anna Hui.
