Workplace Retaliation

Taking adverse action for asserting rights protected by law is retaliation. Employees have a right to bring to an employer concerns about discrimination or harassment in the workplace and a right to feel safe doing so. Despite that, employers do retaliate. They do take adverse actions that are prohibited, such as terminating, or demoting, reducing hours, reassigning, transferring, denying raises, taking away job duties and other harsh actions. In so doing, they open themselves up to charges of retaliation.

They open themselves up to charges that they are acting illegally. Both federal and state law offer protection for employees who report discriminatory actions. If you have been a victim of employer retaliation, Christopher Dunn is ready to stand up for you and your rights and hold your employer or other wrongful party accountable for their actions.
