Illinois has become one of the only states to pass legislation protecting unpaid interns from sexual harassment in the workplace.

A new bill, signed into law last week by Governor Patrick Quinn, amends the Illinois Human Rights Act to include “unpaid intern” in its definition of an “employee.” That gives unpaid workers legal recourse to file suit in instances of sexual harassment or discrimination—a right they could otherwise be legally denied in favor of paid employees.

“Because unpaid internships are a widespread form of employment for young professionals, it is bewildering to think that laws in Illinois do not protect the unpaid intern,” wrote state Representative Maria A. Berrios in a statement provided to Newsweek. “Every person has the right to feel safe and secure in their workplace, and with this new law, unpaid interns will have the same protections as other employees to seek justice in cases of sexual harassment.

U.S. FINALLY DEFEATS GHANA IN DRAMATIC WORLD CUP OPENER

USA SNATCHES DRAMATIC WIN OVER GHANA

Wolf and Wynalda break down the 2-1 win over Ghana.

Finally, the United States men's soccer team beat their nemesis Ghana in the World Cup. 

It took 33 seconds for Clint Dempsey to open the scoring to establish control of the U.S. squad after Landon Donovan was left off and a dramatic game-winning header by John Anthony Brooks in the 86th minute to vindicate U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who selected the young Bundesliga player with an American father and a German mother, despite his struggles early in the year. 

In so doing, Klinsmann did what former coaches Bob Bradley and Bruce Arena could not -- defeat the dangerous Ghana squad that had eliminated the Americans in the last two World Cups. The United States secured a crucial three points in what is known as the "Group of Death" with Germany and Portugal in addition to Ghana.
