Do you feel that your employer subjected you to a negative employment action such as:
Termination, demotion, or denial of a job, promotion or salary increase in retaliation because you filed a lawsuit or made an internal complaint of unlawful treatment or participated in an investigation of unlawful conduct (Whistleblower)?

Year after year, there are many employees who are victims of retaliation by their employers and awarded monetary benefits. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that 84,254 workplace discrimination charges were filed with the federal agency nationwide during fiscal year (FY) 2017, and secured $398 million for victims in the private sector and state and local government workplaces through voluntary resolutions and litigation.
Federal and state laws make it unlawful for employers to retaliate against employers regarding decisions related to hiring, firing, demotion, promotion, compensation, and other terms and conditions of employment. These laws related to retaliation are complex, so it is best to get the opinion of an experienced civil rights lawyer to help you understand your rights and potential actions you can take to address the unlawful practices of an employer.
