Retaliation

However, many people are reluctant to make use of these protections because they are afraid of reprisal by their employers. Anti-discrimination laws include provisions to protect you against workplace retaliation for engaging in a protected activity. This doesn’t mean you won’t be retaliated against by your employer in connection with a discrimination or harassment matter, but you can sue for damages if you are. If you suspect you’ve been subject to an adverse employment action for engaging in a protected activity such as reporting sexual harassment or filing a charge of racial discrimination, an experienced Notre law Firm retaliation lawyer may be able to help.
