Most laws that give workers basic rights also protect workers who assert those rights. You will find that there are quite a few federal and state laws that prohibit employers from retaliating against employees who engage in protected activities. These laws include:
Title VII
The Fair Labor Standards Act
State wage and hour laws
The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)
The National Labor Relations Act
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA)
If your workplace rights were violated and you complained to your employer, filed a complaint with an administrative agency, or filed a lawsuit, you are likely protected from retaliation. Contact our workplace retaliation lawyer to learn about the laws that apply to your specific situation.
