IL employment, discrimination and harassment laws, employee's rights after employer commented on employee's body

The supervisor is creating what is a called a "hostile work environment" for this employee. Creating a hostile work envoronment is indeed a violation of Title VII. There may not be much there in terms of actual damages unless this supervisor is failing to properly compensate, promote, evaluate the employee. I would suggest contacting an attorney to discuss.

Employment/labor laws in IN state, can I sue employer for grabbing and shaking me

Please stop reading this immediately, pick up the phone and report this person to the police. Be sure that they take a police report and then you contact an attorney to sue him for assault and battery. This is not an employment law case unless you get fired. It is purely a criminal case.

What can I do if my boyfriend's employer and landlord is discriminating against me

This is NOT discrimination. It seems like you have a case based in landlord tenant law. in any event, this is a free country and you can go wherever you want, whenever you want as long as you are not breaking any laws or destroying anyone else's property. Tell your boyfriend that he should look for another job...his boss is a real creep.

What are thay saying

This is actually much simpler than all of the "legalese" and words they are using. Basically, you are submitting information to Mark Burnett Productions, an owner and operator of game shows. You are agreeing that anything that you submit to them will be done at your own risk (no credit, no consideration and no money). However, if they like your stuff or select you to be a part of their production, you agree to execute additional agreements where you may be compensated. I did not see...

Wrongful termination

Yes. There is nothing illegal bout your employer asking you to work on a day that yuo told him you were unavailable.

Is it considered discrimination if I was suspended from my normal duties if I haven't done anything wrong

Discrimination in and of itself is totally legal. It is discrimination based on illegal reasons which make it illegal. Those reasons are race, ethnicity, gender, disability, religion and in some case sexual orientation. So unless you ar a member of one of these "protected groups" then it is not discrimination. Also, in some states, as a volunteer, you do not get the same protections as bona fide employees.
