CA EMPLOYERS CAN’T RETALIATE AGAINST EMPLOYEES FOR REPORTING DISCRIMINATION

In California, it is against the law for your employer to retaliate against you because you reported the occurance of unlawful behavior, such as discrimination, at your place of work. Ways your employer might retaliate against you include not promoting you, firing you, or demoting you. As a CA employee you have the right to report discrimination to your boss. Talk to an experienced employment lawyer if you have been retaliated against at work.

When a woman reported to her supervisor at work that she had been discriminated against because of her pregnancy, she thought her employer would protect her rights. However, the woman alleged that as a result of what she lawfully reported, her employer said she would not be in line for a promotion because of making the earlier pregnancy discrimination charge. As a result, she won over $30,000 in damages from her employer.
