Employer Retaliation is Illegal
It is illegal for an employer to retaliate against any employee who brings forward a valid complaint, safety issue, discriminatory issue, unlawful activity or request for protected leave. Retaliation may be in the form of dismissal, demotion or harassment.
You Have Rights
Employment Discrimination Is Illegal
It is against the law for your employer to treat you differently or less favorably than your co-workers because of your race, color, religion, gender, national origin, disability, age or genetic information.
