The labor law poster tells your rights as an employee. The minimum wage in the state of Illinois is $8.25 per hour, effective on January 2010. It says it protects you from harassment, or anything that harm you at the office.
There have been complaints that there is no competition to choose the companies that print labor law posters. This is a part of waste on the side of the private companies that under the law must purchase the posters from a limited number of companies. The law does not prevent the companies from printing their own version of the law. They must face criminal charges, however, if there would be any violation of the law in installing the printed version of the labor law on the wall. It means the companies must buy the standard version of the poster from those companies or must employ lawyers for an inspection.
