Retaliation
- Worker’s Compensation Retaliation: In many states, employers are prohibited from taking any adverse action against an employee because the employee has been injured on the job or filed a workers’ compensation claim.
- Title VII Retaliation: It is unlawful under federal and state laws to retaliate against an employee (i.e., terminate, remove, demote or refuse to reassign) because the employee has complained about discrimination directed at the employee or anyone else.
- Whistle Blowing: There are both state and federal statutes that protect employees from any adverse action by the employer when they have complaints or concerns about statutorily prohibited activities or situations. Examples would include a complaint about an unsafe work environment, a violation of law or criminal activity of whatever nature.
- Union Activity: It is unlawful to retaliate against an employee who has engaged in “concerted protected activity” as defined by the National Labor Relations Act. This activity can take the form of two or more employees complaining about working conditions, wages, or benefits, or any involvement by the employee in a union organizing campaign. Employers are strictly prohibited under the NLRA from taking any adverse action against employees engaging in these activities.
