Workplace Retaliation

A web of California and Federal laws prohibit employers from retaliating against employees who assert their lawful rights or who act as whistleblowers against wrongdoing in the workplace.

Nevertheless, workplace retaliation does occur. If you engage in protected activity under the law such as complaining that you are being discriminated against for being in a protected group and your employer takes adverse action against you, an inference of retaliation may be created under California and federal law. Employees can also be the victims of sexual harassment, physical intimidation, poor job reviews, wrongful termination, and other acts. Sometimes these actions are by a manager in a moment of poor judgment or panic. Other times they can form a consistent and widespread pattern of abuse. In either case, the victim has rights under the law. Contact The Armstrong Law Firm at (415) 928-1293 so we can evaluate your potential case.
