Legal Question in Business Law in Illinois

Commission

I'm a salesman that gets paid commission only, they have decided that if we sell a product not from our sister companies we would not get paid for it. If my customer refuses to buy from sister company and from another, they said great don't lose the sell, but we will still not pay you for it. Is this legal?
