RETALIATION AT WORK IS ILLEGAL
In late July, the court affirmed another retaliation case in favor of an employee and against her employer. The female employee did not feel comfortable testifying against another employee in a discrimination case and lost her job as a result. Fortunately, the court recognized her employer’s misconduct and, with the help of her attorney, awarded her $4 million in damages. If you have been retaliated against by your employer, an experienced employment attorney will be able to assist you.
Retaliation is against the law. Your employer may not fire, demote, harass or otherwise "retaliate" against you for filing a charge of discrimination, participating in a discrimination proceeding, or, such as the woman in the case above, opposing discrimination. Federal law prohibits retaliation against employees who oppose unlawful discrimination or participate in an employment discrimination proceeding.
