I am writing a research paper about discrimination and the failure to promote and was wondering if Illinois has any state laws regarding this subject? One specific question I have is...Are employers in Illinois obligated to post a job opening or can they just pick someone for the job without posting it and interviewing interested candidates? Any other information on the subject of "failure to promote" cases or laws would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You may want to research the topics of discrimination and Affirmative Action. Your topic of "failure to promote" may be found in many Illinois cases under these categories.

Good luck.
