RETALIATION CLAIMS
Your employer may not demote, suspend, terminate, or harass you because you have engaged in “protected activities” including protesting, complaining about, resisting or otherwise “opposing” violation of any law, statute, code, ordinance, public policy, or unlawful discrimination or harassment. Retaliation by the employer is prohibited whether you are opposing illegal conduct directed against yourself, or against another employee or even the violations of the rights of the public. It is also unlawful for an employer to retaliate against you for refusing to violate any law, for reporting the employer for violating any law, or for protesting conduct by the employer that is the subject of any state of federal statute, regulation, or constitutional provision. It is not necessary to have reported such violations to a State or government agency. Internal protests to a supervisor, manager, owner, HR will suffice.
Retaliation comes in many forms, including:
• Transferring the employee to a less desirable position
• Threats
• Treating an employee negatively
• Verbal abuse
• Unnecessary reprimand or poor performance evaluations
