Panduit's headquarters was built with the help of millions of state of Illinois tax dollars in the form of a tax credit with the promise of hiring and retaining a certain number of employees. The contract with the state of Illinois has a clause that Panduit complies with all equal employment laws and the ADA. Sadly, that is not the case. Despite making record profits, Panduit proceded to lay-off long-term older employees and those who had health issues -- and move production out of the US.
